"Yes, it’s huge. The campus is set to cover a total of 175 acres, and will be approximately 1 mile in circumference."

gonna suck when you've got to walk to the other side as opposed to a "normal" building where everything is less spread out.  I'm sure apple probably puts people in the newest iPod (one you get in) and shoot you around the circle or something ridiculous like that.  Its crazy what everybody's iPhone's are paying for

At least Apple can make buildings cool, unlike the Macbook.

I have to admit, I love the look of it. Plus the middle is meant to have an apple orchard in it, for employees to relax in.

I'm pretty positive they are going to have some kind of transportation method accross the whole campus, like one of those electric bands, or a bycicle route, they'll figure it out xD

I still think shooting launching people across campus in pods (iPods they would be) would be most efficient.  Bicycles?  maybe if they are digital

Yeah but they could have built an atomic power plant as well....

I guess this leads nowhere so I'm just gonna end it here.

Jony Ive would win every time.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Cool building, however I am opposed to the design because of one fact, too much glass. I don't know why we love glass but I really don't like it, makes everything cold

Are there apple trees inside? :D

I think it represents the lack of privacy in this day and age.  Companies like to see everything you do.

True, my school had a new building that was ready for the last year I was there, the walls of the classrooms that adjoined the central are they were grouped around were a 100% glass, you could see through the entire building, not having anywhere private sort of removed all the harmless fun that occurred before

because it's brighter and actually, having sunlight in winter is better (not sure where it's located so I dont know if they even have winters)
