In an updated aerial photo published today, Apple gives us our latest look at construction progress on its new ‘Campus 2’ building in Cupertino.
In the photo, we get a closer look at new developments on the main building, as well as the surrounding campus including a planned 1,000 seat auditorium, 300,000 square foot R&D facilities, a parking structure and other buildings separate from the main circular structure. The photos were published to the City of Cupertino’s webpage tracking progress and road closures on the project for the public.
Apple hasn’t updated its planned general project schedule on the City of Cupertino’s website and still plans to complete building construction on Campus 2 by the end of 2016 when it can begin to move in approximately 13,000 of its employees.
We’ve been keeping track of construction progress on Campus 2 with the latest photos, news, and drone flyovers in our timeline here.

I find it interesting that this photo has much less resolution and clarity than many of the drone images posted online. Did you compress it for your site or is this the way Apple sent it out? Seems like they could do better than this. The construction looks great, can’t wait to see a time lapse of the entire thing from start to finish.
I am sceptical of the opening date by EOY 2016…. The superstructure is not even complete and it is a very very complicated building… I hope apple has told the new contractors to “put on their big boy pants” and stay on schedule.
I hope not. I hope they live up to the agreement on accuracy and quality, over any un-defined critical deadline, that I and you don’t know about… ;) Steve Jobs was very critical about the quality of construction that the entrepreneur had to live up to. If they don’t meet the deadline, they will lose any extra profit, or even pay fines for every day of delay, so I think Apple have it supervised ;)
@rwanderwan Apple uses pretty much the lowest resolution camera they can get their hands on, then slather the entire picture with “Apple Inc” so you can’t see any details. Yet another reason why I continue these updates.
