McLaren Health Care Headquarters

Architect: SmithGroup
Glazier partner: Edward’s Glass Company
Contractor: Auch Construction

The center piece of the McLaren Health Care HQ, corporate headquarters’ new building is a multi story full-height atrium. It provides clear views to the landscape and allows perfect amounts of daylight to its public areas.

Also, at the center of this atrium we see G+MC’s custom multi-story stair case guardrail that connects the cafe on the ground floor with the C-suite on the top floor. The design intent, a light-filled atrium and glass wall partitions to help provide interdepartmental collaboration.  McLaren Health Care HQ is designed to promote the companies vision of seamless communication across the organization. Generally, the goal was to optimize work flow and enable growth. Undoubtedly, this new space provides an inspirational workplace as McLaren sets to foster a culture of community attracting the best talent.

Although we designed, engineered and fabricated the guardrail, Glass and Metal Craft’s involvement went further. Our custom metal shop has to custom hand craft all the stainless steel handrails throughout. We continued our partnership with Edward’s Glass in providing additional glass wall partitions throughout. Overall, we delivered a full kitted package for the entire space following the vision and culture.
