Apple Campus 2 by Foster + Partners
The hoop-shaped office building will be located a few blocks away from Apple’s existing headquarters and will accommodate up to 13,000 employees.
The campus will provide office, research and development facilities, as well as a company fitness centre, a cafe and a 1000-seat auditorium.
A circular park for staff is proposed for the centre of the building.
Two further buildings will provide additional research facilities, whilst an onsite power plant will provide the majority of electricity for the campus.
Project Overview
Apple proposes to create Apple Campus 2 – an integrated 21st century campus surrounded by green space.
This new development will provide a serene and secure environment reflecting Apple’s values of innovation, ease of use and beauty.
The state-of-the-art office, research and development facilities include strategies to minimize energy demand, reduce car travel and increase the use of reclaimed water.
The single building comprises approximately 2.8 million square feet over four stories.
Campus amenities will include a striking café within the main building, a separate corporate fitness center and a corporate auditorium seating 1,000 people. Parking will be provided under the main building and in one multi-story parking structure along the 280 Freeway.
The Campus will feature an on-site low carbon Central Plant situated along the 280 Freeway that will supply the majority of the power needed for the Campus.
In addition, research facilities comprising approximately 300,000 square feet will be located east of North Tantau Avenue. These buildings will house technical support functions that need to be located adjacent to the main building.
