What about water usage for watering all these lush greens and trees? The area is not known for having lots of water resources.
Wasn’t there an article recently how employees didn’t like the open seating arrangement.
I wonder how many Macs (of all flavours, iMac, MacBook, etc.) were used during the design and construction of this building, and how many Windows PCs (and laptops, etc.).
I went to the post rankings first just to see how negative the posts and like sentiment was. As usual, the negative ninnies prevail.
It is a beautiful building. It is an amazing accomplishment to be able to build it in such a desirable and populated area. I would say Steve's vision is in play here and to be admired.
Now you all can criticize me too. I can take it.

Love those videos. I wonder does that videographer have "permission" to take all those vids, or fly in that airspace?
That is a massive building. So is that where the corporate office is going to be located now? I would like to visit one day and see all differents types of apple products.
Considering they got 250B dollar not spent they can use (or not) for whatever the hell you are rambling about,
and the money spent there is already spent elsewhere to house the employees, you sure are going into the weeds here (solution? More weed?... ).
No.
The address for the corporate headquarters will remain 1 Infinite Loop. Apple Park (formerly Campus 2) is an engineering complex. Some of the senior executives will have offices at the new complex.
This topic has been beaten to death. There are no public tours of the "spaceship" building.
Apple has built a Visitor Center across the street on the other side of Tantau Drive. That is the only facility in this complex that is open to the public.
You can see all different types of products at store.apple.com or at the local bricks-and-mortar Apple Store retail location.

Maybe, maybe not.
Something like 75-80% of Apple revenue comes from the iPhone. More recently, Services has become a growing segment of the revenue pie. The Mac and other products make up a small percent of Apple's total revenue and their percentage is shrinking. Of the Macs, notebook computers make over 75% of the revenue. Thus the Mac mini is probably generating less than 2% of Apple's total revenue, probably closer to 1%.
Apple does not divulge revenue figures for individual product lines, but for sure, the Mac mini is not a significant generator of revenue for Apple. That's too bad. I have a Mac mini from 2010 and I wish they would release a new one.
Yes there was an article on that. However there have been many studies that show open work spaces encourage collaboration and communication. I’m sure there are offices for those who need them, but if it were me I’d rather have a nice open space rather that being trapped in a cubical all day. After all a cubical wouldn’t let you look out the glass windows into the courtyard and outside.
It would be cool to work there and get to experience the new building... wait, its located in loco California, never mind.
Whether they sit in functional (Samsung-alike) offices, wooden sheds or the weeds (that you seem to adhere to) get rid of those lazy, fattened billionaires that can't crank out a decent laptop and have rotten the best computer company on the planet.
More like 10 to 12 minutes (normal pace of 5 to 6 km/h).

I thought Tim Cook had said that he would move to the new campus.
You have a different normal pace then, here normal/relaxed pace is 4 KM/h, 5 is considered fast walking.
Start the Stopwatch on iOS and time yourself
Be a good day for a jog too.This is not a courtyard, its a golf course... I can see Apple employees are gonna like this.
Based on your own standards? Or based on the hundreds of thousands of companies that rely on MacBooks every single day for productivity and work related tasks. I would say that debunks your own theory that "They can't crank out a decent laptop."

Wow, that's really really slow, my mother's 72 and her normal walk is about 2.3 mph 3.75 kmh,
Relaxed pace, about 2mph (3.2 kmh)
My normal walk is about 3.1-3.3 mph (5.3kmh) with fast walk at 4.2 mph (6.6 kmh), relaxed for me is not my normal pace (more walking in a group with friends). That would be about 4kmh.
Based on my work with various companies in Engineering, Oil and Gas, Research, Equipment manufacturing where MacOS has been increasingly respected/adopted but the hardware considered flimsy, inadequate, unrepairable where the butterfly keyboard, mechanical durability, security are outright scandals for the biggest company on the planet. Happy hiking working with it (when you spill some milk on it) in the capucchino-bar considered to be the new Pro workspace by Cook & Co.

Absolutely stunning property! I wonder how long it would take to walk around the entire building
Read the thread, has been asked in this very thread.
But hey, here you are, probably 15 minutes.
