Apple to build $1B Austin campus, add thousands of jobs in US expansion

From CNET: Apple will build a new Austin campus for $1 billion and expand its operations across the US, the company said Thursday.

The iPhone maker will also set up new offices in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City, California, as well as expanding operations in Pittsburgh, New York and Boulder, Colorado, according to its release.

The Austin campus will be located less than a mile away from Apple's existing facilities in the Texas city, which already employ 6,200 people (its largest group of employees outside its Cupertino,, California, headquarters). The new area will initially hold 5,000 employees, with capacity to grow to 15,000 over time.

The facility will also include 50 acres of preserved open space and its work spaces will be entirely powered by renewable energy (as at all Apple facilities).
