“Apple Inc.’s new spaceship-like headquarters in Cupertino, California is starting to come together, according to the latest drone footage taken from the construction site,” Jennifer Booton reports for MarketWatch.
“Drone photographer Duncan Sinfield shot Apple’s AAPL, +0.04% Campus 2 this week and posted the footage to YouTube,” Booton reports. “The footage shows the finishing touches on the fitness center, nearly-finished parking structures and progress under way at Apple’s new R&D facility.”
“The glass-panel facade on the main building is about half installed, while the carbon-fiber roof is being prepped for solar panels,” Booton reports. “The underground auditorium, which will seat around 1,000 people and be used for future product launches, has also been covered, according to the footage.”

“Spaceship-like” campus???
Never seen a spacecraft shaped like a ring, except in science fiction movies.

Arnold Ziffel is the name of the pig on the old TV show Green Acres.

What are the plans for the spoil mountain? I hope it doesn’t all get taken away, some should go into creating an undulating landscape within the campus boundaries.
Er…no, that’s the top soil mountain which is respread after the landscape shaping is done. There’d be no tree and meadow planting otherwise.
I’m MORE amazed by what you can shoot with a drone these days… 🙂
I didn’t realize there are so many significant supplemental buildings going up AROUND the “spaceship.”
