Apple's 'spaceship' campus nearly ready (photos)

Before his death in 2011, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs set out to create one of the most futuristic buildings ever created in the form of a company campus in Cupertino, California.

Now, a new flyover of Apple's mothership reveals the massive $5 billion Campus 2 is nearly complete, the Daily Mail reports.

The incredible drone images also reveal the astonishing attention to detail of the site.

From the arrangement of electrical wiring to the finish of a hidden pipe, no aspect of the 2.8 million-square-foot main building has been too small to attract scrutiny.

Apple hopes that the campus will be finished by spring this year. 

Since Apple unveiled its plans in 2011, the move-in date has slowly receded.

Jobs' initial projection was 2015, but this spring now seems most likely, according to people involved in the project.  

More than $1 billion (£800 million) was allocated for the interior of the main building alone, according to a former construction manager.

The campus is something of an exception to the trend of radically open offices aimed at fostering collaboration, said Louise Mozingo, a professor and chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at University of California, Berkeley.
