Watch Apple’s new ‘spaceship’ campus get built in just one minute

Apple is putting the finishing touches on its massive “spaceship” campus, which is already in use. Okay, it’s not really a spaceship — it’s officially called Apple Park. (But where’s the fun in that?) Whatever you call it, the huge, $5 billion circular structure has been impressive to watch get built.

The campus is 175 acres in total and will eventually house around 12,000 Apple employees. The company says the 2.8 million-square-foot main building is made with “the world’s largest panels of curved glass,” and that Apple Park will feature “9,000 native and drought-resistant trees and is powered by 100 percent renewable energy.”

In addition to the huge size of the work space in the campus, the Economist has reported that “car parks will occupy 325,000 square metres.”

Here’s a look at a year’s worth of actual building from this epic campus, cut down to one minute. Thanks to videographer Matthew Roberts of Maverick Media Productions for the footage.
