Workers in Cupertino are starting to put the finishing touches on Apple’s monumental new headquarters, widely known as the “Apple Spaceship.” In fact, that’s just what Apple co-founder Steve Jobs called it when he first presented the plan to city managers in 2011.
Now, almost six years later, Apple says final construction is on schedule and the move-in date will be April of this year. Work at “Apple Park,” as it’s now officially known, continues of course, but it looks like most of the heavy lifting is done as crews wrap up installing 17 megawatts worth of solar panels on the gigantic roof and the 150-acre site is heavily landscaped. Over 12,000 Apple employees will work at the campus, and Apple says the new 1000-seat auditorium will be named the “Steve Jobs Theater.” The move-in process is expected to take six months.
Steve Jobs would have been 62 years old on Friday. He passed away from cancer a few months after presenting the plans for Apple Park to city officials in 2011.
