Apple’s New Headquarters

Let’s take a walk around new Apple campus.

Cupertino city officials recently gave the green light on Apple’s wild new headquarters

Here’s one of the first looks we’ve had inside the building. Note the iPod Nano banners: Apparently, Apple ads are the only art that’ll do for Apple Campus 2

Slated for completion sometime in 2016, the new headquarters will inarguably be a stunning place to work. Here: the cavernous cafeteria

Office life will spill into a verdant landscape on both the inside and outside of the ring

The project was helmed by the firm of star architect Norman Foster

Though by Foster’s account, Steve Jobs was hands-on from the start

Employees who arrive by bus will enter at the Corporate Transit Center, with a walkway flanked by two Apple Store-white staircases

This pristine pavilion is where press will mingle at future events
