New model photos provided by The Mercury News show Apple’s proposed Apple Campus 2 in detail. The 4-story circular building, which Steve Jobs famously described as “like a spaceship,” encompasses more than 2.8 million square feet and is designed to house upwards of 12,000 employees.

Apple’s Chief Financial Officer, Peter Oppenheimer, was on hand to give some details about the campus.

“You see the energy and the love and the attention to detail that we’ve put into this,” he told this newspaper during a sneak-peek of a top-secret, living-room sized model of the building. “We have treated this project just as we would any Apple product. And this will be a place for the most creative and collaborative teams in the industry to innovate for decades to come.”

“The concept of the building,” said Oppenheimer, “is collaboration and fluidity. It’ll provide a very open-spaced system, so that at one point in the day you may be in offices on one side of the circle and find yourself on the other side later that day.”

A full gallery of the model can be seen on the Mercury News site.
