Here's A New Photo Of The Giant HQ That Apple Is Building

Apple's new headquarters, currently under construction, is going to be big. So big, in fact, that the Cupertino company has spent $161 million on the auditorium alone. It's not due to be completed until the end of 2016, but thanks to a new photo update on the City of Cupertino's website (above), we can see it's coming along well and on schedule.

As 9to5Mac notes, the 176-acre campus will accommodate 12,000 employees when finished. The futuristic circular shape has seen "Apple Campus 2" nicknamed the "spaceship." Estimates of the total cost are as high as $5 billion.

Here's an artist's rendering of how it'll look when it's complete:
