In June 2011, Steve Jobs unveiled plans for a revolutionary new Apple campus in Cupertino, California, which would later be affectionately dubbed the 'UFO' building due to its distinctive circular design. The ambitious project aimed to create a state-of-the-art workspace that would foster innovation and collaboration among Apple employees. The design, conceived by renowned architect Norman Foster, features a 2.8 million square foot main building that can accommodate approximately 12,000 employees. The campus is set to include extensive green spaces, a fitness center, and a dedicated auditorium, all integrated into a sustainable environment. Jobs emphasized the importance of creating a space that reflects Apple's commitment to design and technology, while also promoting a sense of community among its workforce. The project was officially approved by the Cupertino City Council in 2013 and has since become a symbol of Apple's forward-thinking ethos. The campus, now known as Apple Park, opened its doors in April 2017, marking a significant milestone in the company's history and a testament to Jobs' visionary leadership. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #ApplePark #SteveJobs #Cupertino #UfoBuilding #Architecture
