New Apple Campus 2 video shows installation of massive glass panels
A drone operator has published an aerial video captured throughout Apple's Campus 2 construction site, showing extensive progress including the beginning of interior and exterior glazing installation and the ceiling covering what will be the company's new on-site theater.

Less than three months ago in October, the Spaceship Ring was just beginning to top out across just over half of its segments. Today the ring structure is nearing completion.
More details of the visitor center and store are also visible. Apple plans to build a dedicated visitor center for Campus 2, which will offer views of the main ring at the heart of the development and include retail store, planning documents indicate.
There's also a quick glance at the Phase 2 buildings rising around the periphery of the main campus, depicted in the rendering above and previously detailed as a research and design group large enough to build and test vehicle prototypes.

2) I hope El Niño deos cause any delays.
3) I hope Apple has hired someone to document the design and construction.
Top floor looks like it has ceilings. And maybe even some internal partition framing (?)
Also, few of us get to see a theater under construction, or a bird's eye view of it from such videos as these, free of ceilings and theater curtains.
"Only 1000 seats" says to me that this will not replace the need for larger venues such as Moscone Center for Apple's major events. This on-site theater will most likely be for department-level staff briefings and presentations. Keep in mind, also, that any such programs can be televised and streamed elsewhere.
Also, I'm rather surprised Apple or the General Contractor hasn't sought to prohibit/file suit against drones in the construction site. Don't get me wrong, as an Architect I enjoy theses candid peeks, but there has to be safety and maybe secrecy concerns knowing Apple. I know plans and renderings have been published for a while now, but the big reveal is being spoiled.
