Move will take six months to complete

Apple has said that it will begin moving employees into its new campus in California designed by Foster & Partners from this April.

The tech giant said the process of moving more than 12,000 staff into the complex at Cupertino will take over six months, and construction of the buildings and parklands is scheduled to continue through the summer.

The campus鈥檚 ring-shaped, 2.8 million sq ft main building is clad entirely in glass.

It will also include a 1,000 theatre which will be called the Steve Jobs Theatre after the firm鈥檚 founder who died in 2011.
