CHICAGO

McDonald's CORPORATION GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS

Part corporate headquarters, part cultural center, school, and history museum, the new McDonald's office illustrates the poser of place to bring people together in a common purpose. The mix of cultures and generations typical of a large company today means its office must accommodate a variety of workstyles. The diversity of functions at McDonald's new headquarters mirrors the company's large embrace. Classic work areas and meeting rooms have the look and feel of hospitality venues. 

​

The multidirectional staircase in the building's central atrium, spanning floors 4 through 8, provides a striking focal point and an avenue for casual interaction but also symbolizes the M.C. Escher-esque sensation of moving forward in many directions at once.
