Gas Leak At Apple Park Campus Leads To Evacuation Of Facility

SILICON VALLEY, CA -- The new 175 acre site known as Apple Park that's expected to house more than 12,000 workers later this year was evacuated Friday due to a gas leak.

The leak at the campus on North Wolfe Road was reported just after 2 p.m. on May 26, according to Santa Clara County fire dispatchers.

Apple Park, previously referred to as Apple Campus 2 and AC2, is an oval, spaceship-like structure that was originally envisioned by Steve Jobs as a center for creativity and collaboration. Over the past few years, the land on which the campus sits has been transformed from miles of asphalt into green space. The campus’ ring-shaped, 2.8 million-square-foot main building is clad entirely in the world’s largest panels of curved glass.

This article will be update as more information about the gas leak becomes known.
