The new restaurant is covered in solar panels and has a 1,700 square foot living wall that naturally cools the building and collects rain water. The restaurant is already open for drive-thru and delivery from 8 am to 10 pm. The 8,024 square foot restaurant is covered in solar panels and features eco-friendly design features that minimize energy use and keep the building naturally cool. It was designed by Chicago-based Ross Barney Architects and Florida-based architectural and engineering firm CPH, according to a press release emailed to Business Insider. “These unprecedented times have only heightened the importance of innovation that fosters long-term security and sustainability,” Marion Gross, McDonald’s North America chief supply chain officer, said in the press release. “While health and safety in our restaurants is our top priority, we must also remain focused on creating positive change for our communities and the planet. This restaurant marks an important step in McDonald’s journey to reduce our carbon footprint and identify meaningful solutions in the fight against climate change.” McDonald’s intends to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its restaurants and offices by 35% by 2030. Learnings from the solar-powered restaurant will be applied to those efforts. The chain will also apply for a zero energy certification from the International Living Future Institute for the restaurant. The new McDonald’s is located on Buena Vista Drive in Disney World Orlando. Although Disney World will not reopen until July 11, the solar-powered McDonald’s is already open for drive-thru and delivery service.
