Matthew Roberts latest footage is gorgeous.
One question: About two minutes in, we see a shot of an outbuilding that looks like a barn, sitting off center on what appears to be a concrete pad. Anyone know what that is? If so, please tweet at me.
I do find it fascinating to watch an architectural vision come to full fruition. This is a beautiful design, incredibly detailed, massive in scope.
UPDATE: Yup, it’s a barn. According to this Mercury News article:
Underscoring that Apple Campus 2 is at once one of Silicon Valley’s wildest sketches of the future and a portal to its past, the company has set aside a place on its state-of-the-art campus for the Glendenning Barn, named for a pioneer family whose land became a magnet for tech companies after the blooms faded from their orchards. Constructed in 1916 with planks of redwood, the barn was built to last, though its founders couldn’t have foreseen all that it would withstand: the decline of local agriculture, the rise of big tech and several changes of the guard in Silicon Valley, not to mention Apple’s earth movers.
Thanks for all the response. Love this bit of preserved history.
Looks to be the historic barn they are saving.

I thought I saw previously that it was the maintenance shed for the grounds crew but I could be wrong.
Hard to watch this twice to catch all the details.
I wonder if they’ll have an automated-system for cleaning the solar panels or if they plan to use human labor to do this.
I looked at google maps, which had a shot taken quite some time ago and it wasn’t there. I’m impressed that they essentially took it apart and stored it until they were able to rebuild it. Cool.
