The original main building on the Pixar campus has been given a new name, The Steve Jobs Building.

Steve Jobs was an essential part of the Pixar success story, especially early on as he funded the fledgling studio, spending millions of dollars of his own money until they became profitable. He served as CEO for many years until Pixar was purchased by Disney. Steve Jobs passed away just over a year ago in October 2011. This seems to me a very fitting tribute for a man without whom Pixar would not exist.
