If you think Apple's products are impressive, just wait until you see the company's brand new campus.
Though the planning and construction has taken years to complete, on Wednesday, the tech company revealed that its campus, which will henceforth be known as Apple Park, will be opening to employees in April and pay respects to Steve Jobs, the late Apple co-founder who envisioned the center "for creativity and collaboration."

In addition to learning the simple, amusement park-esque name of the workspace that makes you immediately think of riding high-tech roller coasters instead of, you know, working, the company revealed the campus' theater will be named in memory of Steve Jobs.
"Steve’s vision for Apple stretched far beyond his time with us. He intended Apple Park to be the home of innovation for generations to come," Apple’s current CEO, Tim Cook, said in the press release. "The workspaces and parklands are designed to inspire our team as well as benefit the environment. We’ve achieved one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world and the campus will run entirely on renewable energy."

"Steve was exhilarated, and inspired, by the California landscape, by its light and its expansiveness. It was his favorite setting for thought. Apple Park captures his spirit uncannily well," added Laurene Powell Jobs, Steve Jobs' widow. "He would have flourished, as the people of Apple surely will, on this luminously designed campus.”
Though the campus will officially open in April, it's expected to take more than six months to move the 12,000+ employees onto the campus and get them situated in the 2.8 million-square-foot main building.
During that time, construction of the buildings and surrounding parklands will continue. By the time it's complete, it will include a visitors center featuring an Apple Store and cafe open to the public, a massive fitness center for employees and more.
