Apple Park stands as one of Steve Jobs’ crowning achievements before passing away in October 2011. Yet despite the positive feedback on the Cupertino, California building’s overall design, Apple employees are finding it difficult to avoid walking into its many glass walls.

The building’s design as an open workspace allow employees to walk around freely while discussing with colleagues. Even office rooms within the building, called “pods,” have glass for walls. However, all the glass may have contributed to the employees’ disorientation.
