Apple Says 'Update in Progress' at Visitor Center

[MacRumors]

There is an "update in progress" at the Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino, California, according to a new notice posted on Apple's website.

The building remains open to the public while the work is completed, but the area housing a 3D augmented reality model of Apple Park is temporarily closed.

"Please pardon our appearance while we improve our store," says Apple. "During this time, the Exhibition Space is temporarily closed."

Opened in November 2017, the Apple Park Visitor Center functions as both a store and a tourist attraction. While the Exhibition Space is closed for now, visitors can still grab a coffee at the on-site Caffè Macs, buy Apple merch, head up to the rooftop for a scenic view, or stroll through the adjacent "Mirage" public art installation.

Apple did not indicate when the improvements will be completed.

I was just there a month ago, it’s a beautiful space, though it very clearly was in need of maintenance. A lot of the minimalist modern details and finishes are starting to show wear and tear around the edges. Also, the milled metal model was all dinged up. Seems a refresh is in order.

That section always seemed like it was intended to use up otherwise empty space. Wonder what they'll replace it with.

Is that the same place you can purchase some Apple merch? I'm planning a quick trip to CA and figured I'd drop in, get some goodies.

They’re probably raising prices.

The Apple store experience leaves alot to be desired. I'm sure the coffee at their Caffè Macs is increasing ten-fold as well.

lol maybe it could be a little less underwhelming

Feels like this place is closed more than its open.

Really hope they're getting rid of that AR table. Always thought that was pointless.

Think it is only renovation in progress and there will be nothing new when it fully opens again. On a separate note, it would be nice if the Apple merchandise were available to purchase from any Apple Store in the world.
