Biography | Tim Cook — He Opened the Public Door Onto the Campus Jobs Had Drawn
kevin
On 17 November 2017 the Apple Park Visitor Center opened to anyone who walked in from Tantau Avenue.
Employees had begun moving into the ring that April.
The Steve Jobs Theater, across the lawn, had already held its first special event in September.
What opened this Friday was the public building: a store, a cafe, a roof deck, and an 11,000-pound aluminum model of the campus that an iPad could peel open in augmented reality.
The address is 10700 North Tantau Avenue, Cupertino.
Foster + Partners designed it as a low glass box with a carbon-fiber roof that appears to float.
Neighbors were invited the evening before.
The public doors opened at 9 a.m.
Steve Jobs had described the 175-acre campus to the Cupertino City Council in 2011 as the last big project he wanted to see through.
He did not live to walk the finished ring.
Tim Cook called it the home of innovation for generations to come when employees started to occupy it.
The Visitor Center is the part a stranger can actually enter.
The ring itself remains a working campus.
From the roof you look across the street at the circular building and the trees.
