Architecture
The theater includes a glass elevator that is 42 feet (13 m) high that rotates 171 degrees from the bottom floor to the upper lobby level. The elevator is made from chemically tempered glass and is considered to be the tallest free-standing, glass elevator in the world.[citation needed] There is only a single door due to its ability to rotate.
The lobby has a lens-shaped roof composed of 44 identical carbon-fiber radial panels, weighing in total 80.7 tons (73.2 metric tons), that sits on a 22ft (6.6 m) tall and 135ft (41.1m) diameter glass cylinder.[1] There are no support columns in place. All of the wires and pipes, such as electric conduits and sprinkler pipes, are positioned within the silicone joints between the curved glass panels.
History
On October 15, 2013, Cupertino City Council unanimously approved Apple's plans for the new campus after a six-hour debate.[2] Shortly thereafter, demolition work began to prepare the site for construction.
On February 22, 2017, Apple announced the official name of the campus as the "Apple Park", and the auditorium to be named the "Steve Jobs Theater".[3]
On September 12, 2017, Apple publicly opened the newly completed theater at their event titled "Let's meet at our place." At the event, the Apple Watch Series 3, Apple TV 4K, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, and iPhone X were announced.[4]
