McDonald's Global Headquarters
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Year Built: 2018
A new standard for high-performing acoustics
Design flexibility unlocking new possibilities of what a ceiling can do
When McDonald’s decided to move its global headquarters from the Chicago suburbs to downtown, the design team knew there would be challenges for the nine-story, 500,000 square foot building. One goal was to create a place that cultivates talent in a setting that values collaboration, productivity and worker well-being, in design and practice. The facility houses Hamburger University, where managers come to train; McCafe beverage bars, indoor-outdoor terraces with city views; a McDonald’s restaurant featuring international menu options; and of course, many open work and conference areas. Within the design, visitors experience McDonald’s heritage and the company’s brand in unique engaging ways.
