Environmentally Responsible

For McGill, going “green” and adopting more sustainable practices within our company is not about simply achieving a desired reputation. It is about becoming a more conscious presence within the industry, and allowing that consciousness to guide us in the decisions we make and standards we work to uphold. It is about acknowledging that our actions do have a significant impact on our environment and accepting the responsibility to make the changes necessary to minimize that impact as greatly as possible. From our commitment to using recycled materials for our products, to the majority of our work being implemented into LEED certified projects – these are the things that make McGill the company we wish to be.

Project 87 World Trade Center

7 World Trade Center – New York City, NY

7 World Trade Center is the new 52-storey 1.7 million sq. ft. tower that sits in place of the original building that was destroyed on September 11, 2001. Devised by architect David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the current 7 World Trade Center's design focuses on safety, with a reinforced concrete core, wider stairways, and thicker fireproofing of steel columns. It also incorporates numerous environmentally friendly features. The first ten floors house an electrical substation, which provides power to much of Lower Manhattan. To enclose the power substation and improve its aesthetics, the base of the building has a curtain wall with McGill Louvers that provide ventilation for the machinery. The building is being promoted as the safest skyscraper in the U.S., incorporating a host of life-safety enhancements that will become the prototype for new high-rise construction.
