McDonalds HQ

Architect: Gensler
Installer: Ventana
Location: Chicago, Illinois

The new home of McDonald’s Corporation's global headquarters is a nine-story, 550,000 square-foot collaboration between urban campus developer Sterling Bay, McDonald’s, and Gensler architects. Innovation Glass engineered two facades.

The vertical wall and 14'-long canopy above the entrance are both VS1, and the VS1 facade in the building's "Innovation Center" feature 26'-high unreinforced glass walls with all-glass corners and a 6'1" bay space.

Franz Safford, and the entire team at Innovation Glass, represent everything we look for in a partner.  His engineering acumen is always on display, but never takes a back seat to his passion for great design.  I’ve yet to come to him with an idea that he wasn’t willing to help explore, design, and ultimately deliver.
