A Commitment to Sustainability
The Collection at McCormick Square is committed to sustainability in our operations and in our community to create opportunities and divert unnecessary food waste. One third of all food purchased on campus is local, organic, or environmentally preferred, including sustainable seafood, meats raised without antibiotics, and other farm-to-fork favorites from local businesses.
The Largest Farm-to-Fork Rooftop Garden
Vegetables sprout atop McCormick Place West Building’s green roof, an unexpected urban farm crafted by architects to reduce environmental impact. In 2013, the Chicago Botanic Garden’s Windy City Harvest initiative turned this 20,000-square-foot rooftop into the Midwest’s largest farm-to-fork garden. With stunning skyline vistas, the rooftop garden yields more than 8,000 pounds of organic produce each year.
More than just a serene spot in the bustling city, the McCormick Place rooftop is a complete ecosystem that serves both the convention center and our community. In addition to providing food for campus, our rooftop garden has been the catalyst for a variety of community programs including:
• An urban agriculture program for underserved teen youth
• The Ark of Taste seed preservation program
• Beekeeping of approximately 20,000 honey bees
Make the Collection at McCormick Square the home of your next meeting or special event.
