When Sunday is over, the boring office may be the last place you think of, but the Apple Park in Cupertino, California may give you a different feeling.
Apple Park is like a huge landed UFO, which covers an area of 708,000 square metres. The round four-storey main building has hundreds of rooms. It covers an area of up to 260, 000 square
metres. The outer walls are made up of huge pieces of glass. Many of them can be opened like the windows in your home, and the whole building can “breathe*” like a human being. With this special ventilated* system, it only needs to use air conditioners for three months of the year. There are 75,000 square metres of solar arrays* on the roofs of the building. They provide electricity for the whole Park. The Apple Park building is a bright, comfortable and convenient place for all the 12,000
Apple people to workinside.
Apple Park is not only a fantastic working place, There is a huge dining hall for all the- Apple people to have meals together at once. There is a four-storey cafe, a sports center and a l,000-seat theatre to offer relaxing services. There are 2,000 bicycle parking spaces, so people can ride their bikes to work. The company also provides l,000 bikes for Apple people to get around all over Apple Park. In the middle of the round building is a huge park.
