When Apple consolidated its 50 remote facilities into a single, centrally located headquarters, the project required a massive parking solution to accommodate approximately 14,000 employees. The result consists of two massive, free-standing parking structures that mirror the design excellence of the main office building. Each structure provides 3,000 stalls and stretches 1,574 feet—more than a quarter mile in length.
To maintain architectural continuity across the campus, Clark Pacific was selected to provide the structural and aesthetic precast solutions for these facilities. This ensured that the parking structures reached the same high standard of innovation and sleek design as the largest office building in the world, creating a cohesive visual experience for the entire campus.
Parking Project Details
Clark Pacific utilized high-performance prefabricated building systems to meet the owner’s exacting aesthetic and logistical requirements. By manufacturing the components off-site, we delivered a precise, high-quality finish that would be difficult to achieve with traditional cast-in-place methods.
Key structural and design elements include:
-
Signature Aesthetic: All precast components were manufactured with custom-tapered and radiused edges. This sleek, modern detailing was designed to echo the iconic industrial design language found in the owner’s popular consumer electronics.
-
Massive Scale & Efficiency: Each structure spans the length of five football fields. Our prefabricated approach allowed for the rapid assembly of these enormous footprints while maintaining strict quality control across every piece.
-
Material Continuity: By using the same high-performance precast theme found on the main office building, the project team ensured that the parking facilities served as a seamless extension of the campus’s architectural identity.
-
Structural Durability: The use of architectural precast provides a resilient, low-maintenance solution capable of supporting the high-volume daily needs of a 14,000-employee headquarters.
