Apple’s Cupertino ‘spaceship’ campus given go-ahead (final rubber-stamp vote in Nov)
Cupertino City Council last night voted unanimously to approve Apple’s planning application for the circular campus building first presented to council members by Steve Jobs in 2011, in what was to turn out to be his last public appearance before his death. It was Steve Jobs who nicknamed the building the ‘spaceship.’
Although the approval is still subject to a final vote on 15th November, the San Jose Mercury News reports that this is merely a formality.
Now that the project has been approved, the council by regulation must meet one more time on Nov. 15 for a final and largely perfunctory vote. The spaceship, for all practical purposes, has now been approved for liftoff.
