"Recent expansion by Apple continued this week with an agreement to lease a seven-building campus in Sunnyvale, California, not far from where the company is building its new \"spaceship\" headquarters.\nSee also: Official Apple 'Spaceship' Campus Model Makes Its Debut\nThe new campus, known as Sunnyvale Crossing, has around 290,000 square feet of office space and can handle around 1,450 workers. It was recently renovated by local real estate firm Lane Partners, according to the San Jose Mercury News.\nApple did not release any information about what kind of personnel might be housed at the buildings. \nApple gained final approval in November for its 2.8 million square foot headquarters that will be built in Cupertino, California. The \"spaceship campus\" is not expected to be ready until mid-2016.\nBonus: Renderings of Apple's \"Spaceship\" Campus\n\n\nApple Campus 2 Design Renderings\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApple\u2019s updated plans for its cutting-edge Apple Campus 2 design show four levels of offices, sprawling landscape, a cafeteria, corporate auditorium and a fitness center. The design shape is still the same as it was initially proposed back in June, with a sleek, circular main building and glass surrounding the exterior.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe latest renderings of Apple Campus 2 show more places for employees to unwind, including a 45,000 sq. ft. fitness center and a jogging path.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe exterior of the main building.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEarlier this year, Apple submitted a 175 acre development proposal to replace existing office and research buildings in the area \u2013 most of which was previously occupied by the Hewlett Packard (HP) campus. The company is making modifications to the area's existing buildings and land.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApple will be filling its grounds with lots and lots of greenery. Trees, shrubs and flowers will inundate the 175-acre campus.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApple also released a rendering of what the campus will look like from the outside. Again, there are lots of trees.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaking of trees, the various colors indicate what type of greenery will be added to the space, from love trees to \u2013 of course \u2013 Apple trees.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApple Campus 2 is expected to open in 2015.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave something to add to this story?
