More architectural renderings have surfaced showing off a few new details of Apple’s eagerly-anticipated “spaceship” campus — including ancillary buildings such as a reception center, food stations for employees, and more.
Check them out below.
The main reception building will reportedly be located at “the main pedestrian entrances to the Apple Campus II site,” and will be people’s first port-of-call when arriving at the campus; using the same minimalistic aesthetics seen elsewhere to “promote” a unified feeling throughout the massive site.

Two buildings will meanwhile serve food to visitors and employees, with one offering a tranquil outdoor seating area underneath a lightweight canopy.
In addition, there’s a 5,776-square-foot maintenance “shed,” which will be used to store all of the landscaping equipment used to keep the campus looking pristine at all times.

As we get closer to the opening of Tim Cook’s sexy pile of dirt, more and more details are becoming known about the as-yet-unnamed Campus II. Recently we heard that Apple has ordered 500 custom-made “Pod Island” tables from Dutch manufacturer Arco to give its employees somewhere to sit and work.
We’ve also heard about the site’s impressive environmental credentials, its 100,000-square-foot fitness center, 11,000 parking spaces, 2,000 bike parking spaces, 2.8 million square feet of office space, 1,000-seat underground theater, and a 100,000-square-foot lab thrown in for good measure.
Hey, did you really expect any less from a campus big enough that you could fit pretty much the entirety of Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California inside it?
