Apple’s Spaceship campus won’t have to wait long before it begins breaking ground with the City Council of Cupertino officially approving all permits for the site.

The plan for the campus was first unveiled by Steve Jobs, who once said of the building:

“It’s a little bit like a spaceship landed€¦ It’s curved all the way around. You’d know, if you build things, that this is not the cheapest way to build something. There’s not a straight piece of glass in this building.”

When completed it’s estimated that approximately 14,000 employees will work in the building. Tim Cook heralded the announcement from the council on Twitter saying:

It is expected that Apple will move its headquarters to the new building by 2016.
