History
Construction of the Infinite Loop campus was completed in 1993 by Sobrato Development Cos. Prior to 1997, activity on the campus was restricted to Research and Development activities, and each building was referred to as R&D 1 through R&D 6. Shortly after the return of Steve Jobs to Apple when Apple consolidated the number of buildings it occupied, many non-R&D related functions moved to the campus, so the Research and Development name was dropped, and the buildings were renamed IL 1 through IL 6. The local BJ's Restaurant & Brewery, just off campus, is often jokingly referred to as "IL 7".
Before Infinite Loop was built, the location was occupied by Four Phase Systems (which was later acquired by Motorola).
