`Where Apple Has Quietly Built Its Biggest Campus
`
`By Don Reisinger September 1, 2016
`
`Apple has quietly moved thousands of employees into a campus that is bigger than any other that the
`company currently has—and it’s not its Cupertino, Calif. headquarters.
`
`The iPhone maker last week moved into a massive 1.1-million-square-foot campus in north Austin, as well
`as another smaller 216,000 square foot campus in southwest Austin, the company has confirmed. In total,
`Apple (AAPL) now has more than 6,000 employees in Texas’ capital.
`
`Apple’s presence in Austin, which dates back to 1992, has fluctuated over time. But in recent years, the city
`has become a major hub for the company as it expanded outside its Silicon Valley base.

`Struggling with Team Conflict? Three
`Ways Leaders Can...
`By Disney Institute
`
`In 2010, Apple announced plans to add to its then 100-person team in Austin by making it a base for
`microchip design. Those engineers have since played a major role in developing the company’s “A” series
`processors as well as other components for the iPhone to the iPad.

`
`Today, Apple has 500 workers in its Austin engineering operations who report to Johny Srouji, Apple’s
`senior vice president of hardware technologies. In an interview with the Austin American Statesman, he said
`the group would eventually double in size expand to 1,000 employees.
`
`Meanwhile, Apple’s massive 1.1-million-square-foot campus in Austin is home to a customer service center,
`human resources functions, and its online store.
`
`Still, it’s the hardware engineering center in Austin that may be the most important in Apple’s expansion.
`Over the last several years, the company has built a large workforce in Austin without many people
`knowing. Indeed, the Austin American Statesman acknowledged in its report that Apple’s employee growth in
`the city has been “discreet.” What’s more, those employees are hard at work on some of Apple’s most
`important products.
`
`“We have been quietly building out this team, which is one of our most important engineering groups,”
`Srouji told the Austin newspaper. “They play a very critical and integral role—they are designing chips that
`go into all the devices we sell.”
`
`He added that the chips designed at Apple’s Austin facilities are included in “hundreds of millions of
`devices” that Apple sells each year.
`
`Austin is also home to a Mac Pro manufacturing facility, where the company’s high-end desktop is
`constructed.

`So, why did Apple choose Austin over its California home for such a big workforce that it plans to add to
`in coming years? The company says that city has a large contingent of tech workers who have the expertise
`that it needs for engineering and support.
`
`However, Apple is also getting financial incentives to expand in Austin. The city, county, and state have
`agreed to give the company $35 million in tax breaks over time, the Statesmanreported after reviewing tax
`documents. Apple has already received $10.5 million in tax incentives, the report said.
`
`Apple declined to comment on the move to Fortune.

`
`But alas, the Austin campus will only hold onto its title as Apple’s largest campus site for a short period.
`After Apple moves into its new space-ship-like Silicon Valley headquarters in 2017, its 2.8 million square
`feet will dwarf the 1.1-million-square-foot facility in Austin. A second Silicon Valley campus will house
`more than 12,000 employees.
`
`Regardless, there’s more to Apple’s Austin campus than just work: It features everything from the usual
`restaurants to a wellness center where employees can get acupuncture for their aches and pains. Apple
`Campus 2 will have similar amenities, including a huge fitness center and restaurants.
