Here are visuals of the Apple campus located on 150 acres of land in Cupertino, CA. Freshly released details include the commission of United Kingdom architects Foster + Partners in tandem with ARUP North America and Kier & Wright, a local civil engineering firm that counts the likes of eBay and NVIDIA as clients. The new campus has a circular design that was implemented by Apple and boasts an office and R&D facilities for up to 13,000 employees, a 1000-seat auditorium, fitness center, research facilities, central plant and underground parking.
Sustainability is also playing a huge roll for the new campus – through generating its own electricity via an on-site central plant, open green spaces for employee enjoyment, and “to exceed sustainability goals through integrated design and development.” Blueprints and mockups assume the project is approaching an impending green light per city approval and slated for an opening as soon as 2015.
