The Apple Campus is set to open in April. This campus designed by Norman Foster is also called the Apple Park.

According to arch daily, the Apple Park has been envisioned by Steve Jobs. This is a center for creativity and collaboration. This will be a new home for 12,000 Apple employees. All the employees will be transferred to the Apple Park within six months.

The same report indicated that the Apple Park is designed on a 2.8 million square-foot central building. The building is clad with carved glass all over. Additionally, aside from the structure the building will also have a visitor's center. The Apple Store and a Café will be accessible to visitors once visiting the park.

The Mercury News reported that the theater inside the Apple Park will be named Steve Jobs Theater. This auditorium will have 1,000 seats and will be enclosed in a 20-foot-glass cylinder. The theater will be located at the highest part of Apple Park.

 It can be recalled that in June 2011, Jobs presented the plan for the Apple Park. This was done at a meeting in Cupertino City. The meeting had been the last public appearance for Jobs before he passed away in October 2011.

Meanwhile, Apple Newsroom reported that the Steve Jobs Theater will also be overlooking the whole area. The surroundings will be filled with trees. Apple CEO Tim Cook shared that Jobs had this dream a long time ago. Cook noted that Jobs had wanted the park to be the home of innovation for the coming generations.

The workspaces and the parklands too are set to inspire everyone in the company to care for the environment. Cook concluded that to fully care for the environment the Apple Park will run on a renewable energy.

The whole area of Apple Park is fit for all the employees from Apple.
