Apple Submits Revised Plans for Second Phase of New Campus Construction

Foundation and primary superstructure work will likely start when the foundation and superstructure of the donut is near completion. It's cost effective to just move the construction machinery over to the 2nd location once it's no longer needed at the 1st location.
Many, many employees bike it to work. I believe that Cupertino also has public busses that will be directed through the campus. Heck, we even have our local bus system run special busses to our office several times a day. Common practice.
They do. If you go to their campus between 4:00 and 6:00 PM on a weekday you will see hundreds of people lining up to get on the Apple shuttle coaches.
Well the "Four-story office Building" and the "Two-story Testing Facilities South" both look like two 16GB desktop sticks! The "Two-story Testing Facilities North" also has an uncanny resemblance to the Mac Mini's user-removable RAM of yester-model-year!
It was never going to be hidden. They just raised it a half story. Likely has something to do with the underground earth conditions. You have to remember that this baby is being built just a few miles from the San Andreas Fault.
My first thoughts too. and doens't leave much room for growth, visitors, etc... I'm sure they want to encourage carpooling, etc... but still
So this little building complex off from the main building, I'm assuming this is where they're putting the "Mini Teams" who work in the Mac Mini and the iPad Mini? Or do they go in the basement with a few cases of roach spray?

If Apple knows all, why do you even bother posting here? Just buy your stuff and install it in your Apple Alter. Don't forget to kneel towards Infinite Loop when performing your daily rituals.

It's easy to understand why they're losing the plot, they're focusing all their energy on this space ship instead of their products.
I'm sure they have scientific studies to show that it is a sufficient number of spaces. That, or they are going to subsidize mass transit in the hopes of getting fewer people to drive to work. Let's not forget about carpools, etc.

The mantra is build now, collect taxes for multiple years THEN provide adequate infrastructure. Sad, but true.
I live in a rapidly growing residential area. And while the government has finally gotten smart and required contributions from builders for the infrastructure, that infrastructure usually doesn't go in until years after the homes are built and sold.
I'm surprised that Apple is building any facilities for cars at all.
If they were true to their words, they'd just build the whole facility with apartments and condos included.

Missed didn't you, it just flew over your head. Hate is making you blind or can't read the sarcasm.

Public transit is severely underfunded in this country, conservative leaders in Congress consider bicycles a socialist plot.
lol
That was also my first thought. In terms of construction documents, especially for a project of this size, 72 pages is like a footnote.

I don't think you understand construction phasing. Scheduling of one phase does not necessarily rely the scheduling of another.
Do they have maybe a first and second shift? Or all the employees working at the same time? Beacaue here at Boeing Aerospace they don't have enough parking for every employee however because there are morning and nightly shifts then the amount of parking spots work out. Although it might be alittle inconvenient sometimes it's not out of the norm.
I heard Apple was hard at work redesigning their shuttle buses to make them even thinner...so thin, in fact, that people can't even fit on them...they just marvel at how thin the buses are as they drive past their bus stop empty en route to the new Apple campus.
There's a data center in the basement of the parking garage?!?!.Five levels of parking above. That seems crazy. Why wouldn't they put the data center below one of the office buildings?
Maybe the parking garage doubles as a heat sink...
