The Stunning Apple Park


An experienced project manager, Andrew Jares Oldfield is a top graduate of the Level 6 Apprentice program of the Iron Workers Union Local 416. In 2016, Andrew Jares Oldfield was appointed construction superintendent of Holder Construction, responsible for all top-level mechanical and plant operations in the completion of Apple Park. 

In 2006, Steve Jobs announced that Apple would establish Campus 2, the company’s future headquarters. Construction on the new 175-acre Apple Park, located around 1 mile from the Cupertino, California headquarters, commenced in late 2013. The centerpiece of the development site is the massive 2.8-million-square-foot, four-story, circular company headquarters, dubbed as the spaceship and reputed to be one of the world’s most energy efficient buildings. 

Designed by the architectural firm Foster + Partners, the estimated $5-billion Apple Park campus also has 17 megawatts of rooftop solar power, completely run by renewable energy, a 100,000-square-foot fitness center, a public visitor center showcasing an augmented reality experience, and the underground 1,000-seat Steve Jobs Theater. Phased movement of employees began in April 2017 and the campus will eventually house over 12,000 people. Already a tourist attraction, the project is like no other as the new headquarters building, as a measure against earthquake, can move by over four feet.
