New Apple campus boasts ‘Steve Jobs Theater’
Co-founder known for onstage keynotes
CUPERTINO, CALIF.— Apple has announced that its new headquarters will open for employees in the spring and will include a theatre named for its late co-founder, Steve Jobs.
Apple said in a news release on its website that the process of moving its 12,000 employees from the tech giant’s old digs in Cupertino, Calif., to the new Apple Park nearby will begin in April and will take more than six months to complete.
The 71-hectare campus includes a 2.8-million-square-foot main building in the shape of a giant ring. Apple said the building will run entirely on renewable energy.
The campus will also include a 1,000-seat auditorium called the Steve Jobs Theater. Jobs famously unveiled new Apple products at theatre events. He died in 2011, at 56, following a battle with cancer.
