Apple Cumpus II

SHARE

For those of you who have read Steve Jobs’ autobiography (by Walter Isaacson) you might remember a brief mentioning of Jobs’ plans for an epic circular Apple Campus he had developed in his final years.

This October, exactly two years after his passing Jobs’ brainchild is on the way to becoming reality, for the perfectly round Apple Campus II has been granted planning permission by the Cupertino City Council.

Designed by architects Foster + Partners’ the 5 billion dollar project will take form of a gigantic glass-and-steel hoop, surrounded by green and its hollow center filled with parkland. Located a few blocks from the Apple Campus I, the 260,000 square feet will accommodate 13,000 employees (who will be ready to move in by 2016), it has a fitness center, a 1,000 seat auditorium and a private park for its staff to dream up new ideas in.
