When a company as rooted in popular culture as McDonald’s moves its headquarters after 47 years, it’s not just a momentous business decision—it’s a statement about the way we live our lives. Changes in our attitudes toward food, work and leisure all contributed to McDonald’s move from the campus at Oak Brook to a nine-story building in Chicago’s West Loop. To make the move an architectural event worthy of its business impact, McDonald’s hired Studio O+A and IA Interior Architects to turn a lean, light-infused, shell into a celebration of the company’s spirit.
