The main building's scale and circular groundscraper design, by Norman Foster, has earned the structure the media nickname "the spaceship". Located on a suburban site totaling 1.46 km2 (360 acres), it houses more than 12,000 employees in one central four-story circular building of approximately 0.26 km2 (64 acres). Apple co-founder Steve Jobs wanted the campus to look less like a business park and more like a nature refuge; 80 percent of the site consists of green space planted with drought-resistant trees and plants indigenous to the Cupertino area, and the center courtyard of the main building features an artificial pond.
History
In April 2006, Apple's then CEO Steve Jobs announced to the city council of Cupertino that Apple had acquired nine contiguous properties to build a second campus, the Apple Campus 2. The idea for a new headquarters was conceived by Jobs and Apple's then chief designer Jony Ive. Ive was Apple's immediate choice to design the project, going on to work very closely together with Norman Foster across five years, designing every detail, from the glass panels to the elevator buttons.
Purchases of the needed properties were made through the company Hines Interests, which in at least some cases did not disclose the fact that Apple was the ultimate buyer; Philip Mahoney, a partner with a local commercial real estate brokerage, noted that this is common practice in attempts to arrange the purchase of contiguous land made up of multiple parcels with separate owners, in order to keep costs from skyrocketing and not reveal the company's plans to competitors. Among the sellers of the properties were SummerHill Homes (a plot of 8 acres or 3.2 hectares) and Hewlett-Packard (three buildings of their campus in Cupertino).
Until April 2008, Apple had not sought the necessary permits to begin construction, so it was estimated that the project would not be ready in 2010 as originally proposed; however, the buildings on the site were held by Apple for its operations. In November 2010 the San Jose Mercury News revealed that Apple had bought an additional 98 acres (40 ha) no longer used by HP, just north across Pruneridge Ave. This space had been the HP campus in Cupertino before it was relocated to Palo Alto.
On June 7, 2011, Jobs presented to the Cupertino City Council details of the architectural design of the new buildings and their surroundings. He did not live to see construction begin, dying a few months later on October 5.
On October 15, 2013, Cupertino City Council unanimously approved Apple's plans for the new campus after a six-hour debate. Shortly thereafter, demolition work began to prepare the site for construction.
Originally expected to break ground in 2013 and open in 2015, the project was delayed and started in 2014. On February 22, 2017, Apple announced that the official name of the campus would be "Apple Park", and the auditorium would be named the "Steve Jobs Theater".
The campus opened for workers in April 2017, despite continued construction work. This was followed by the first event in the Steve Jobs Theater, which took place on September 12, 2017. The Apple Park Visitor Center opened five days later, on September 17, 2017.
As a consequence of the construction of Apple Park in the area, surrounding streets have seen increased tourism as well as rising real estate values, due to Apple employees' desire to live near their workplace.
Location

Apple Park is located 1.2 miles (1.9 km) east of the original Apple Campus. Apple has had a presence in Cupertino since 1977, which is why the company decided to build in the area rather than move to a cheaper, distant location. The campus is also next to a contaminated site under Superfund legislation with a groundwater plume found to contain trichloroethylene from improper disposal of industrial waste by semiconductor manufacturers.
Design and construction
Steve Jobs, in June 2011, in his final public appearance before his death, was quoted as saying:
It's got a gorgeous courtyard in the middle, and a lot more. It's a circle, so it's curved all the way round. This is not the cheapest way to build something. Every pane of glass in the main building will be curved. We have a shot at building the best office building in the world. I really do think that architecture students will come here to see it.

The ring-shaped building, advertised as "a perfect circle", was not originally planned as such. The inner rim and outer rim on each floor are left open as walkways. There are eight buildings, separated by nine mini-atria. The campus is 4,805 feet (1,465 m) in circumference, with a diameter of 1,512 feet (461 m). The one circular building houses most employees. It is four stories above the ground and three stories underground. Apple created life-size mock-ups of all parts of the building to analyze any design issues.
The design hides the roads and parking spaces underground. The campus uses only glass for its walls and views of the inner courtyard as well as of the landscape facing the exterior of the building. Around 83,000 square feet (7,700 m2) of space is for meetings and breakout spaces in the building. The inner part of the circular building contains a 30-acre (12 ha) park featuring a pond, with fruit trees and winding pathways inspired by California fruit orchards.
Apple brought to the construction project the same "fanatical attention to detail" which the company is famous for lavishing upon its products. Apple insisted on extraordinarily tight tolerances, even for parts of the structure normally hidden from view. Construction workers were often required to wear gloves to minimize accidental damage to surfaces. All interior wood used for furniture was harvested from a certain species of maple, with Apple working with construction companies from 19 countries for designs and materials.
A breathing, hollow concrete slab acts as floor, ceiling, and HVAC system. A total of 4,300 such slabs were used. Some of the slabs weigh 60,000 pounds (27 t).
Construction
During construction, the building's structure was started by Skanska and DPR, but they were removed from the job for undisclosed reasons. Apple hired Rudolph and Sletten and Holder Construction as its new general contractors, and they completed the structure, envelope, and interior buildout. Truebeck Construction (then known as BNBTBuilders) worked on the exterior landscaping, Steve Jobs Theater, and the health and fitness center; a joint venture of BNBTBuilders and Webcor Builders worked on an adjacent group of research and development buildings; McCarthy Building Companies built the parking garage; and Granite Construction performed road widening and utility work. The project created approximately 13,000 full-time construction jobs.
The facade panes are produced by Bavarian companies Josef Gartner and Sedak. The latter company is a subsidiary of Seele GmbH; Apple had previously worked with Seele, an expert on glass facades, for some of its more prominent Apple Stores such as the one on 5th Avenue in New York City.
Costs

The land cost was estimated at $160 million. In 2011, the budget for Apple Campus 2 was less than $3 billion. However, in 2013 the total cost was estimated to be closer to $5 billion.

Energy source
The campus was announced as one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world, and the main building, Steve Jobs Theater, and fitness center are all LEED Platinum certified. In an April 2018 press release, Apple announced that it had switched to being powered entirely by renewable energy. The solar panels installed on the roof of the campus can generate 17 megawatts of power, sufficient to power 75% during peak daytime, and making it one of the largest solar roofs of the world. The other 4 megawatts are generated onsite using Bloom Energy Server fuel cells, which are powered by biofuel or natural gas. The air flows freely between the inside and outside of the building, providing natural ventilation and obviating the need for HVAC systems during nine months of the year.
Facilities
Cafés
The campus has seven cafés, with the largest being a three-level café for 3,000 sitting people. It has light-colored stone lining and glass railing with no metal support and is surrounded by extensive landscaping. The mezzanine space of 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2) can accommodate 600 people and 1,750 seats on terraces outside, with a capacity to serve 15,000 lunches a day, housed by specially designed 500 tables made of solid Spessart white oak, measuring 18 ft (5.5 m) long and 4 ft (1.2 m) wide.[citation needed]
The sports tables and benches resemble those in Apple Stores.[citation needed]
Auditorium

Officially known as the Steve Jobs Theater, after the co-founder and former CEO of Apple, the facility is located atop a hill on the campus. It is an underground, 1,000-seat auditorium intended for Apple product launches and press meets. It has a large above-ground cylinder-shaped lobby with stairs down to the auditorium. The theater has 350 parking spaces on North Tantau Avenue and a pedestrian path leading to the main campus located northwest of the theater.
The theater plays host to many types of events, from Apple Events such as product announcements, WWDC (Apple's Developers Conference), and shareholder's meetings, to special Apple Music events, such as performances by Billie Eilish and Ludovico Einaudi.
The theater's lobby has cylindrical-shaped glass walls and no support columns, which give an unhindered 360-degree view of the surrounding campus. The 80-short-ton (73-metric-ton) carbon-fiber roof, made of 44 identical panels, was supplied by the Dubai-based company, Premier Composite Technologies. Each panel is 70 ft (21 m) long and 11 ft (3.4 m) wide and locks in the middle with the other panels. It is the largest carbon-fiber roof and the largest glass-supported structure in the world.
The theater also includes a 42-foot (13 m) high glass elevator that rotates 171 degrees from the bottom floor to the upper lobby level. The elevator is made from chemically tempered glass, and is considered to be the tallest free-standing glass elevator in the world.
The theater's first press event was held on September 12, 2017, where the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, Apple Watch Series 3 and Apple TV 4K were announced.
Wellness center
A 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m2) fitness center is located in the northwest of the campus. Apart from gym equipment, the fitness center features other amenities like changing rooms, showers, laundry services, and rooms for group sessions.
Research and development facility
The research and development facilities feature two large 300,000-square-foot (28,000 m2) buildings on the southern edge of the campus and are occupied by more than 2,000 people. The top floor of each building houses the department comprising industrial design and human interface teams formerly headed by design chief Jony Ive.
Transportation
Bus
Employees traveling by bus will board and depart from the bus station, which leads to the main campus via two white staircases. The area is also served by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), which runs a local bus service from Cupertino to nearby cities. Prominent transit consultant Jarrett Walker, who worked with the VTA on providing service to the campus, criticized the campus' design due to its poor access to public transit.
Parking
Parking is located both underground and in two large parking structures accommodating approximately 14,200 employees. Cupertino regulations required a minimum of 11,000 parking spaces, 700 of which have electric vehicle charging stations.
There are 2,000 parking spaces in the subterranean parking garage. The parking is managed by sensors and apps, which manage the traffic and parking spaces.
Cycling
There are 1,000 bikes on the campus for employees to get around, with miles of cycling and jogging trails all over the 175-acre (71 ha) campus. There are an additional 2,000 bicycle parking spaces in the subterranean car parking garage.
Apple Park Visitor Center

Apple Park Visitor Center is a two-story 20,135 sq ft (1,870.6 m2) structure with four main areas: an Apple Store featuring Apple-branded merchandise (T-shirts, hats, tote bags, postcards) not sold at regular Apple stores, a 2,386 sq ft (221.7 m2) café, an exhibition space which currently showcases a 3D model of Apple Park with augmented reality, and a roof terrace overlooking the campus. It opened to the public on November 17, 2017. The estimated cost of the center is $80 million. The property at 10600 North Tantau Avenue (northeast corner of Tantau and Pruneridge avenues) is across the road from the campus proper and abuts a Santa Clara residential neighborhood. The underground parking garage, with close to 700 spaces, has an estimated cost of $26 million. The Visitor Center is the only part of Apple Park which tourists are permitted to visit.
Apple Park Developer Center
Apple Park Developer Center is a two-story structure across the street from the Apple Park Visitor Center at 10500 North Tantau Avenue (southeast corner of Tantau and Pruneridge avenues). Construction began in May 2021. Apple Park Developer Center was inaugurated on June 6, 2022, during WWDC.
Grounds
Landscaping

80% of the campus consists of green space. The spacious courtyard in the middle of the primary building was planted with apricot, olive, and apple orchards, as well as a herb garden near the cafe. Other plants selected for the campus landscape are drought tolerant. Recycled water is used to water the campus.
In 2011, Apple hired an arborist, Dave Muffly, to cultivate California's natural environment around Apple Park. Apple's headhunters tracked down Muffly in 2010 after Jobs recognized the quality of the oak trees near the Stanford Dish and asked staff to find the arborist who was caring for them.
There are 9,000 trees on the Apple Park campus, of 309 varieties of indigenous species. The planted trees are Oak savanna, Oak wood, and fruit trees including apple, apricot, plum, cherry, and persimmon. An additional 15 acres (6 ha) are used for a native California grassland. Among the apple varieties represented are Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Gravenstein, and Pink Lady, but the McIntosh is notably absent, due to its incompatibility with the area's climate.
After he began work in earnest, Muffly realized that fewer than a hundred of the 4,000 existing trees were usable. This meant he had to procure from scratch almost all of the 9,000 planned trees. His team went so far as to search abandoned Christmas tree farms, and Apple bought one at Yermo in the Mojave Desert.
Historic barn

The land that Apple purchased for the campus came with an old barn that was built in 1916 by John Leonard using redwood planks. Leonard married into the Glendenning Family, who immigrated to the United States from Scotland and settled in the area in the 1850s. After Apple purchased the property, there were discussions between Apple, the Cupertino Historical Society, and the city of Cupertino as to the fate of the barn. The city's interest in the barn stemmed from its 2004 declaration as a historical site.
Eventually, Apple agreed to keep the barn on the property and is using it to "store maintenance tools and other landscaping materials". The barn was disassembled during the campus construction and then reassembled in a different location from where it was originally located.
Inner courtyard
The inner courtyard is 30 acres (12 ha), and lush with fruit trees alongside an artificial pond and a café. In the center, there is a rectangular field with several arches that resemble a rainbow when seen from a distance.
Reception


The design of the Apple Park campus has been called the "ultimate example" of suburban office parks, which have been in decline as companies seek to relocate to urban areas with better transit, bicycle, and pedestrian access. Kaid Benfield of the Natural Resources Defense Council, a non-profit environmental advocacy group, criticized the proposed campus for contributing to existing suburban sprawl, with car-dependent features and waste of expensive real estate that could have been used for affordable housing.
The headquarters also gained unfavorable attention when it emerged in 2018 that two workers had been injured and required hospital treatment after walking into the building's clear glass walls and doors.
Apple received some criticism for the perceived extravagance of its new headquarters, as well as its perfectionist approach to its design and construction. The use of special wood as a construction material was reported to be the subject of a 30-page guideline. The design of door handles was reported to be the subject of a one-and-a-half-year debate, involving several revisions before the Apple management gave its approval. Apple's desire for custom signage put the company at odds with the Santa Clara County Fire Department, requiring several rounds of negotiations due to fears it could compromise safety in case of emergencies.
In her book Brotopia, writer Emily Chang criticized Apple Park for having no daycare facilities for employees' children, despite it ostensibly serving the needs of every individual.

and circular groundscraper design by Norman Foster has earned the structure the media nickname the spaceship Located on a suburban site totaling 1 46 km2 360 acres it houses more than 12 000 employees in one central four story circular building of approximately 0 26 km2 64 acres Apple co founder Steve Jobs wanted the campus to look less like a business park and more like a nature refuge 80 percent of the site consists of green space planted with drought resistant trees and plants indigenous to the Cupertino area and the center courtyard of the main building features an artificial pond HistoryIn April 2006 Apple s then CEO Steve Jobs announced to the city council of Cupertino that Apple had acquired nine contiguous properties to build a second campus the Apple Campus 2 The idea for a new headquarters was conceived by Jobs and Apple s then chief designer Jony Ive Ive was Apple s immediate choice to design the project going on to work very closely together with Norman Foster across five years designing every detail from the glass panels to the elevator buttons Purchases of the needed properties were made through the company Hines Interests which in at least some cases did not disclose the fact that Apple was the ultimate buyer Philip Mahoney a partner with a local commercial real estate brokerage noted that this is common practice in attempts to arrange the purchase of contiguous land made up of multiple parcels with separate owners in order to keep costs from skyrocketing and not reveal the company s plans to competitors Among the sellers of the properties were SummerHill Homes a plot of 8 acres or 3 2 hectares and Hewlett Packard three buildings of their campus in Cupertino Until April 2008 Apple had not sought the necessary permits to begin construction so it was estimated that the project would not be ready in 2010 as originally proposed however the buildings on the site were held by Apple for its operations In November 2010 the San Jose Mercury News revealed that Apple had bought an additional 98 acres 40 ha no longer used by HP just north across Pruneridge Ave This space had been the HP campus in Cupertino before it was relocated to Palo Alto On June 7 2011 Jobs presented to the Cupertino City Council details of the architectural design of the new buildings and their surroundings He did not live to see construction begin dying a few months later on October 5 On October 15 2013 Cupertino City Council unanimously approved Apple s plans for the new campus after a six hour debate Shortly thereafter demolition work began to prepare the site for construction Originally expected to break ground in 2013 and open in 2015 the project was delayed and started in 2014 On February 22 2017 Apple announced that the official name of the campus would be Apple Park and the auditorium would be named the Steve Jobs Theater The campus opened for workers in April 2017 despite continued construction work This was followed by the first event in the Steve Jobs Theater which took place on September 12 2017 The Apple Park Visitor Center opened five days later on September 17 2017 As a consequence of the construction of Apple Park in the area surrounding streets have seen increased tourism as well as rising real estate values due to Apple employees desire to live near their workplace LocationCupertino California with the circular building of Apple Park located north of Interstate 280 Apple Park is located 1 2 miles 1 9 km east of the original Apple Campus Apple has had a presence in Cupertino since 1977 which is why the company decided to build in the area rather than move to a cheaper distant location The campus is also next to a contaminated site under Superfund legislation with a groundwater plume found to contain trichloroethylene from improper disposal of industrial waste by semiconductor manufacturers Design and constructionSteve Jobs in June 2011 in his final public appearance before his death was quoted as saying It s got a gorgeous courtyard in the middle and a lot more It s a circle so it s curved all the way round This is not the cheapest way to build something Every pane of glass in the main building will be curved We have a shot at building the best office building in the world I really do think that architecture students will come here to see it Apple Park aerial view during construction in August 2016 north of below I 280 The original Apple Campus located 1 2 miles westwards is also shown on the top right south of I 280 The ring shaped building advertised as a perfect circle was not originally planned as such The inner rim and outer rim on each floor are left open as walkways There are eight buildings separated by nine mini atria The campus is 4 805 feet 1 465 m in circumference with a diameter of 1 512 feet 461 m The one circular building houses most employees It is four stories above the ground and three stories underground Apple created life size mock ups of all parts of the building to analyze any design issues The design hides the roads and parking spaces underground The campus uses only glass for its walls and views of the inner courtyard as well as of the landscape facing the exterior of the building Around 83 000 square feet 7 700 m2 of space is for meetings and breakout spaces in the building The inner part of the circular building contains a 30 acre 12 ha park featuring a pond with fruit trees and winding pathways inspired by California fruit orchards Apple brought to the construction project the same fanatical attention to detail which the company is famous for lavishing upon its products Apple insisted on extraordinarily tight tolerances even for parts of the structure normally hidden from view Construction workers were often required to wear gloves to minimize accidental damage to surfaces All interior wood used for furniture was harvested from a certain species of maple with Apple working with construction companies from 19 countries for designs and materials A breathing hollow concrete slab acts as floor ceiling and HVAC system A total of 4 300 such slabs were used Some of the slabs weigh 60 000 pounds 27 t Construction During construction the building s structure was started by Skanska and DPR but they were removed from the job for undisclosed reasons Apple hired Rudolph and Sletten and Holder Construction as its new general contractors and they completed the structure envelope and interior buildout Truebeck Construction then known as BNBTBuilders worked on the exterior landscaping Steve Jobs Theater and the health and fitness center a joint venture of BNBTBuilders and Webcor Builders worked on an adjacent group of research and development buildings McCarthy Building Companies built the parking garage and Granite Construction performed road widening and utility work The project created approximately 13 000 full time construction jobs The facade panes are produced by Bavarian companies Josef Gartner and Sedak The latter company is a subsidiary of Seele GmbH Apple had previously worked with Seele an expert on glass facades for some of its more prominent Apple Stores such as the one on 5th Avenue in New York

the bus station which leads to the main campus via two white staircases The area is also served by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority VTA which runs a local bus service from Cupertino to nearby cities Prominent transit consultant Jarrett Walker who worked with the VTA on providing service to the campus criticized the campus design due to its poor access to public transit Parking

Center was inaugurated on June 6 2022 during WWDC GroundsLandscaping Park under construction January 2016 80 of the campus consists of green space The spacious courtyard in the middle of the primary building was planted with apricot olive and apple orchards as well as a herb garden near the cafe Other plants selected for the campus landscape are drought tolerant Recycled water is used to water the campus In 2011 Apple hired an arborist Dave Muffly to cultivate California s natural environment around Apple Park Apple s headhunters tracked down Muffly in 2010 after Jobs recognized the quality of the oak trees near the Stanford Dish and asked staff to find the arborist who was caring for them There are 9 000 trees on the Apple Park campus of 309 varieties of indigenous species The planted trees are Oak savanna Oak wood and fruit trees including apple apricot plum cherry and persimmon An additional 15 acres 6 ha are used for a native California grassland Among the apple varieties represented are Golden Delicious Granny Smith Gravenstein and Pink Lady but the McIntosh is notably absent due to its incompatibility with the area s climate After he began work in earnest Muffly realized that fewer than a hundred of the 4 000 existing trees were usable This meant he had to procure from scratch almost all of the 9 000 planned trees His team went so far as to search abandoned Christmas tree farms and Apple bought one at Yermo in the Mojave Desert Historic barn Glendenning Barn as seen from the sidewalk next to Apple Park The land that Apple purchased for the campus came with an old barn that was built in 1916 by John Leonard using redwood planks Leonard married into the Glendenning Family who immigrated to the United States from Scotland and settled in the area in the 1850s After Apple purchased the property there were discussions between Apple the Cupertino Historical Society and the city of Cupertino as to the fate of the barn The city s interest in the barn stemmed from its 2004 declaration as a historical site Eventually Apple agreed to keep the barn on the property and is using it to store maintenance tools and other landscaping materials The barn was disassembled during the campus construction and then reassembled in a different location from where it was originally located Inner courtyard The inner courtyard is 30 acres 12 ha and lush with fruit trees alongside an artificial pond and a cafe In the center there is a rectangular field with several arches that resemble a rainbow when seen from a distance ReceptionApple Park aerial view near sunset November 2023Apple Park in Cupertino at Sunset The design of the Apple Park campus has been called the ultimate example of suburban office parks which have been in decline as companies seek to relocate to urban areas with better transit bicycle and pedestrian access Kaid Benfield of the Natural Resources Defense Council a non profit environmental advocacy group criticized the proposed campus for contributing to existing suburban sprawl with car dependent features and waste of expensive real estate that could have been used for affordable housing The headquarters also gained unfavorable attention when it emerged in 2018 that two workers had been injured and required hospital treatment after walking into the building s clear glass walls and doors Apple received some criticism for the perceived extravagance of its new headquarters as well as its perfectionist approach to its design and construction The use of special wood as a construction material was reported to be the subject of a 30 page guideline The design of door handles was reported to be the subject of a one and a half year debate involving several revisions before the Apple management gave its approval Apple s desire for custom signage put the company at odds with the Santa Clara County Fire Department requiring several rounds of negotiations due to fears it could compromise safety in case of emergencies In her book Brotopia writer Emily Chang criticized Apple Park for having no daycare facilities for employees children despite it ostensibly serving the needs of every individual
