The new US Apple headquarters, which is scheduled to put into operation in 2015, will exceed the size of the Pentagon-the building of US Department of Defense, reports macobserver.com.
According to publication journalist's calculations, the diameter of the building of Apple is about 492 meters. A circle that would circumscribe the Pentagon has a diameter of 477 meters. It should be noted, that Pentagon is the largest office building in the world. It has approximately 26 thousand employees, and building's 5 floors have about 604 thousand square meters total area.
As mentioned by Mac Observer, the diameter of new headquarters will exceed Empire State Building height in New York (443.2 meters high), and cruise ship and US nuclear aircraft carrier length.
According to another source cupertino.org, construction of the complex is due to start next year. The 260 thousand square meters campus will be designed for 13 thousand employees. The campus would comprise an office, research and development building, thousand seat corporate auditorium, fitness center, research facilities, central plant and associated parking.
Currently, the project must undergo environmental review and studies for impact on traffic in the Cupertino City, and finally it will be adopted.
Apple is now vying with oil giant Exxon Mobil for the title of most expensive company in the world.
