The Apple Campus was the main headquarters of Apple Inc. from 1993 to 2017. It was then replaced by Apple Park but is still used by Apple for offices and labs. The campus is in Cupertino, California, USA. It looks like a university with buildings around green spaces.[1] Apple has another big campus in Silicon Valley called Apple Campus 3.

Apple’s first headquarters was at Building 1 on Mariani Ave in Cupertino. The new campus was built on land that was used by Four-Phase Systems. The campus has an area of 850,000 square feet (79,000 m2). It was built in 1992 and finished in 1993. Before 1997, the campus was only used for research and development.[1] When Steve Jobs came back to Apple in 1997, he made changes to the campus. More buildings were used and activities not related to research and development were moved to buildings on Infinite Loop.[2]

In August 2008, there was a fire in the building Valley Green 6. Firefighters worked all night to put out the fire. No one was hurt but the building had $2 million of damage.[3]

The Apple Campus is at the corner of Interstate 280 and De Anza Boulevard. It has six buildings on four floors and covers 32 acres.
