The simple form of the Ring Building conceals immense expertise and innovation. There are now over 9,000 trees on site, including indigenous oaks and orchards, as well as meadows, sports fields, terraces and a secluded pond. Today, the green space has been increased from 20 to 80 per cent, with over six kilometres (four miles) of walking and jogging trails. The 71-hectare (175-acre) site was previously dominated by impervious surfaces.
The campus is powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, and is the largest LEED Platinum-certified office building in North America. Inspired by all of Apple’s endeavours, it has been designed with a deep care towards the environment as well as the company and its staff. Flexible and forward-looking, the architecture sits low amid tall trees, draws its energy from the sun and brings the invigorating views and fresh air from the park through its glass facades. Its landscape and buildings form a seamless whole: the Ring Building, Steve Jobs Theater, Fitness & Wellness Center, Visitors’ Center and South Parking are all encompassed by flowing parkland that enhances the buildings as places to socialise, exercise and work. The campus is Californian in spirit: open and connected to nature and the product of a remarkable collaboration.
Apple Park places people at its heart, creating an ideal workplace for continued creativity, innovation and wellbeing.
