With the construction of Apple’s new Spaceship campus now showing rapid progress, new 4K drone footage (below) shows huge glass panels in the staging area close to the metal sections.

The circular Campus 2 building is really taking shape now above ground level, even when compared to footage from just three weeks ago, and we get a sense of the scale of the excavation from the sizeable pyramid of excavated dirt just outside the ring … 

The campus, which will provide workspace for around 13,000 employees, is scheduled to see the main building completed in late 2016, with the surrounding building works completing early the following year.

Although the finished building will be well-hidden from surrounding streets, you will still be able to take a look if you find yourself in the area after it opens, thanks to a visitor’s center with rooftop observation deck.
