On: Steve Jobs Presents His Ideas For A New Apple Camp...

Really, really nice looking building and landscaping.

Why keep the IL1 campus, instead of just moving everybody into a slightly larger mothership in 2015?

I suspect it would make a pretty awesome skunkworks, hidden away from the glitz of the new main campus.

Sounds like they still need the space. 20% Increase with 13000 current employees. IL1 will be needed to house everyone.

They haven't built the new one yet; they could always make it bigger. Even simply thickening it would likely add a ton of space.

It would also darken the building and require more artificial light, which it seems they're trying to avoid.

They could always use skylight tubes [1]

Or, if they really wanted to go green... [2]

Just because they've got money to burn doesn't mean they want to burn money. They own Infinite Loop, and they'd have a hard time finding a buyer.

Besides, moving everybody in the entire company into a new building sounds like a major pain and a disruption to operations.

That is what Amazon did last year, on a rolling basis as leases expired.
