Apple to Build Second Campus

Randy writes "Apple plans to expand dramatically in Cupertino by constructing a second major campus, one mile from Infinite Loop. Lamenting the fact that 'there aren't many apricot orchards left' upon which to build a new campus, Apple CEO Steve Jobs noted that Apple nevertheless managed to do the trick by purchasing several contiguous properties." From the article: "The maker of Macintosh computers and iPod digital music players will house 3,000 to 3,500 employees in the new campus, about 10 minutes away from its headquarters on Infinite Loop in Cupertino. Jobs estimated that it will take three to four years to design and build the new campus."

Sorry, to be more precise, they are growing (continuously), but that growth is orthogonal to the move. Presumably, the move is partially to facilitate future growth as well, but the move is mainly to consolidate the corporate sprawl that causes some employees to have to drive for two or three miles just to eat in Café Macs.
