If you thought that Steve Job’s legacy was only left on the gadgets you can touch, the suave design of the electronic contraptions that make your multi-media world fun and innovative, think again.<\/p>\n
The video above is a touching tribute to the man who ALSO envisioned what will soon come to be the world’s fifth most expensive building and quite possibly the world\u2019s coolest office<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Apple Campus 2 trophy headquarters is spinning into completion in Cupertino, California.<\/p>\n And in Silicon Valley it’s referred to as the spaceship.<\/p>\n More info…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The main building is a ring-shaped, four-storied structure that looks like a huge spaceship. The site covers 176 acres, or about the size of 100 soccer fields.<\/p>\n At over 1,500 feet, the main building is greater in diameter than the Empire State Building is tall, and wider than the Pentagon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n More than 3,000 sheets of curved glass cover the main building, which is a perfect circle.<\/p>\n The site will be be powered completely by renewable energy, including solar power and biofuels. Around 80 percent of the site is green space, complete with jogging and cycling trails.<\/p>\n Some 13,000 Apple employees will work at the new headquarters, which has seven different cafes. A thousand bicycles will be available for staff to get around the campus, which will be planted with 7,000 trees.<\/p>\n The campus will have a 1,000-seat auditorium, a 100,000-square-foot fitness center, and 300,000 square feet of research and development facilities.<\/p>\n Parking garages above and below ground have space for about 14,000 vehicles, while a visitor center offers views over the entire campus.<\/p>\n The total cost to build the Apple Campus 2 is estimated to be $5 billion. That figure is equal to around 2 percent of the company\u2019s $215 billion in total cash reserves as of January 2016<\/strong>, according to Macworld.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
