Apple plans to leave a lasting mark in Silicon Valley, giving the place a real landmark for innovation. That’s the impression I get from the latest details about its planned spaceship-like circular headquarters, as revealed by Apple Insider.
The city of Cupertino, Calif., where Apple is based, has released more details and drawings of Apple’s plan to create a 2.8 million-square-feet headquarters in the city. The circular building is located on land that Apple has purchased from Hewlett-Packard, the Palo Alto, Calif.-based tech giant.
The city is reviewing the proposed plan from Apple and is doing an environmental impact report. It will look at traffic, noise, air quality and other impacts. Apple still has to get through a development review and publiic hearings at the planning commission and city council. As you can see from the images, Apple’s building will be like no other and it will be surrounded by greenery. Apple says it will exceed “economic, social, and environmental sustainability” goals.
