Cupertino residents may have received an unsolicited package from their most prominent neighbor this week. Não, it’s not a new iPad, or an early look at the iPhone 5 — instead, people close to Apple (from a physical perspective) opened the glossy mailing to reveal a detailed look at Apple Campus 2, which will consist of 176 acres currently occupied by “aging buildings” and trees. As we already know, the campus will feature one main circular four-story building with 2.8 million square feet of office and common space, along with an additional 300,000 square feet set aside for dedicated (secure) research buildings. There will be a restaurant, fitness center and other facilities aimed to “reduce automobile trips” as part of the company’s plan to protect the environment.

You’ll find Oppenheimer’s letter in full after the break, along with additional photos at the source link.
