Cupertino, California — Apple
today announced that Apple Park, the company’s new 175-acre campus, will
be ready for employees to begin occupying in April. The process of
moving more than 12,000 people will take over six months, and
construction of the buildings and parklands is scheduled to continue
through the summer.
Envisioned by Steve Jobs as a
center for creativity and collaboration, Apple Park is transforming
miles of asphalt sprawl into a haven of green space in the heart of the
Santa Clara Valley. The campus’ ring-shaped, 2.8 million-square-foot main building is clad entirely in the world’s largest panels of curved glass.Steve would have turned 62 this Friday, February 24. To honor his memory and his enduring influence on Apple and the world, the theater at Apple Park will be named the Steve Jobs Theater. Opening later this year, the entrance to the 1,000-seat auditorium is a 20-foot-tall glass cylinder, 165 feet in diameter, supporting a metallic carbon-fiber roof. The Steve Jobs Theater is situated atop a hill — one of the highest points within Apple Park — overlooking meadows and the main building. “Steve’s vision for Apple stretched far beyond his time with us. He intended Apple Park to be the home of innovation for generations to come,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “The workspaces and parklands are designed to inspire our team as well as benefit the environment. We’ve achieved one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world and the campus will run entirely on renewable energy.”
