The iPod, iPad and iPhone weren’t enough, so Apple’s Steve Jobs is building a ‘spaceship.’ Actually it will be a new headquarters office building that’s set to house up to 13,000 employees. Bloomberg has more on Job’s unique design.
Steve Jobs: “We’ve seen these these office parks with lots of buildings and they get pretty boring pretty fast so we’d like to do something better than that.”
Announcer: “And one other sign that Apple is in its own world the building will be powered by a natural gas generator Apple will use the city’s power grid only as a back up. So Steve Jobs always considering the aesthetics.”
Apple has purchased 150 acres east of its current number 1 Infinite Loop address for the new project.It’s called “Apple Campus 2”-- and the City of Cupertino has just revealed new details. In addition to the campus’s power plant, plans include underground parking, a 1,000 seat auditorium, a fitness center and a large central courtyard, as well as plenty of green space for Apple employees to enjoy.
At a Cupertino City Council meeting in June -- Jobs expressed the staying power of his new building.
Jobs: I think we do have a shot of building the best office building in the world and I really do think architecture students will come here to see this I think it could be that good.
The project is expected to be approved soon and completed by 2015, because as one Canadian blogger puts it...
