Last month we saw a video showing that Apple had started construction of the foundations for their new Apple Spaceship Campus, and now we have another video.
The latest video shows us how things are progressing at the Apple Spaceship Campus, and there appear to have been quite a few changes since last month.
The latest video was put together by YouTube user Myithz who used a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus drone to record the Apple Spaceship Campus from the air.
Progress and Features of the Apple Spaceship Campus
Apple is expected to finish construction of their new campus by 2016. The new building will hold a total of 12,000 employees and the main building will measure a massive 2.8 million square feet. This ambitious project, often referred to as the “Spaceship” due to its futuristic circular design, is set to become a landmark in Cupertino, California.
The campus will feature a 2,400-space parking garage located under the main building, ensuring that the sprawling campus remains pedestrian-friendly on the surface. Additionally, the campus will include various other buildings, such as a state-of-the-art Research and Development (R&D) center, fitness centers, and auditoriums. The R&D center is particularly noteworthy as it will be the hub for Apple’s future innovations, housing some of the brightest minds in technology.
Environmental and Technological Innovations
One of the most impressive aspects of the Apple Spaceship Campus is its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The building is designed to be one of the most energy-efficient in the world. It will be powered primarily by renewable energy sources, including a massive on-site solar farm and fuel cells. The campus will also feature natural ventilation systems that will reduce the need for traditional heating and cooling for 75% of the year.
The landscape design is another highlight, with over 7,000 trees being planted on the campus. These will include fruit trees, native oaks, and other indigenous species, creating a lush, green environment that promotes biodiversity. The green spaces are not just for aesthetics; they are designed to provide a serene and inspiring environment for employees, encouraging creativity and well-being.
Moreover, the campus will incorporate advanced technological features, such as smart building systems that optimize energy use and enhance the comfort of its occupants. The integration of cutting-edge technology with sustainable practices makes the Apple Spaceship Campus a model for future corporate headquarters.
The construction of the Apple Spaceship Campus is a testament to Apple’s vision of the future—a blend of innovation, sustainability, and design excellence. As the project progresses, it continues to capture the imagination of people around the world, setting new standards for what a corporate campus can be.
