Steve Jobs who will be forever remembered for revolutionising consumer technology into millions of homes will now, through the company he founded, add to his list of achievements. Jobs vision was to create futuristic headquarters built with the same attention to detail as he builds his products whilst still reflecting the California landscape he was brought up in.

Jobs intended the “Apple Park to be the home of innovation for generations to come,” said Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook.

Apple is one of the biggest companies in the world, so it comes as no surprise that it is quickly outgrowing its current headquarters.

Apple has announced that it will begin moving staff into the new headquarters in April, opening a futuristic campus that has been in development for six years.

Here are 15 of the most interesting facts about the Apple Park, known as “Spaceship headquarters” in Cupertino, California.
