McGough served as the general contractor for a dynamic new Land O’Lakes headquarters facility totaling 155,310 SF of new construction and interior renovation. The project comprises four above-ground levels, a partial lower‐level connection to existing buildings at two levels below grade, and new on-grade parking. The new facility features an open-plan office environment, a state-of-the‐art conference center, fitness and day-care amenities, and a branded coffee shop, plus interior renovations to the adjacent legacy office building.
The project achieved LEED Platinum certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s rating system, recognizing Land O’ Lakes and McGough’s commitment to sustainability and energy performance. The design includes rainwater harvesting for landscape irrigation, rooftop photovoltaic panels offsetting energy demand, enhanced indoor air quality with abundant fresh air, and extensive daylighting paired with automatic controls to conserve energy on sunny days.
