Construction on Apple's spaceship-shaped second Campus is progressing, as detailed in a new close-up Video shared by Skycore on Vimeo. Shot last Monday, the Video offers a Look at the current state of construction, depicting a finished foundation, the first walls of the ring-shaped structure, and work on an underground parking facility.
Apple has had some issues with Campus construction as of late, and in May, the company hired Silicon Valley company Rudolph & Sletten to take over as general contractor, replacing Skanska USA and DPR Construction as work begins on the interior of the building. It is **t clear why Apple parted ways with the original general contractor on the project, but according to Skanska, an agreement could **t be reached for "the revised scope of work."
Apple's Campus features a massive 2.8 million square foot ring-shaped main building, an underground parking lot, a 100,000 square foot fitness center, and a 120,000 square foot auditorium for hosting major events. The entire Campus will be covered with hundreds of trees and there will be a central garden with outdoor dining areas. A second phase of development will add several nearby research and development facilities.
Campus 2 is costing Apple upwards of $5 billion, and it is unclear if its recent contractor shift has increased initial cost estimates. It's also unk**wn if the project is still on track for a late 2016 completion, but Apple has **t **tified the City of Cuperti** of any delays, so it may still be finished at the end of next year.
