Apple Inc. is set to invest $4.5 million into modernizing its original North Austin campus, a stone's throw away from the shiny new complex that has recently welcomed some of its employees. The Cupertino-based tech behemoth's refurbishment endeavors are aimed at expanding lab spaces, sprucing up office areas, and increasing the number of meeting rooms, as per state filings. This upgrade comes as the company continues to solidify its presence in the Texas State's burgeoning tech hub.

The renovations, which are slated to kick off in May and reach completion by November, signal a commitment to the existing infrastructure even as the company's footprint extends with the new campus initiated in 2019. The planned improvements at the original site reflect Apple's growing operational needs and reaffirm the city of Austin's status as a pivotal locale for technology firms. As reported by KVUE, the current campus revamp is set to start in a month.

Apple's building spree is nothing short of impressive, considering its already significant presence in Austin. With the city being home to a host of the biggest names in tech, Apple's sustained investment in the area doesn't just beef up its capabilities but also contributes to Austin's standing as a national tech powerhouse. As per Austin Business Journal reveals how the renovation further entrenches the tech titan's long-term commitment to North Austin.
