Apple’s new campus, designed by Foster + Partners in California, looks to be gaining a previously not included visitor centre for tourists.

To include a rooftop observation deck and a shop, the visitor centre at Apple Campus 2 will comprise glass walls and a carbon-fibre roof. Proposed for a site along Tantau Avenue, Cupertino, the plans for the attraction are a late addition, having only being submitted in April 2015, with planning permission for the whole site granted back in 2013.

The new plans include a café, Apple Store and visitor reception, while stairs and elevators lead to the rooftop deck 23 feet (7 metres) from the ground, offering a clear view of the main ring-shaped building in Apple Campus 2.

The wider campus will act as a second headquarters for the technology giant, employing 13,000 people at peak capacity. Commissioned by the late Steve Jobs, former Apple CEO, the design is intended to change staff behaviour, putting all staff members under one roof to “create the idea factory that will create future generations of Apple products for years to come.”
