Apple said on Thursday that it would expand its operations in Austin, Tex., with a new $1 billion campus on the north side of the city that would nearly double the size of the company’s current 6,000-employee work force in the area.
The technology giant said it also planned to establish new, 1,000-worker operations in San Diego, Seattle and Culver City, Calif., and to add hundreds of workers in offices in New York, Pittsburgh and Boulder, Colo. over the next three years.
The new 133-acre campus in North Austin will initially employ 5,000 workers in the engineering, research and development, operations, finance, sales and customer support departments. It will ultimately have the capacity to accommodate up to 15,000 workers.
