Johnson Controls’ corporate campus building in Glendale, Wisc., has unanimously been designated as a historical landmark by the Milwaukee County Historical Society. The landmark designation highlights how the Glendale campus incorporates Johnson Controls’ innovative solutions to deliver sustainability, healthy occupant experiences, and safety and security. In 2010, the Glendale campus was awarded LEED Platinum certification by the U.S. Green Building Council, the highest such recognition, making the 33-acre complex one of the most environmentally advanced buildings in the world.
The Johnson Controls’ Glendale campus was designed by Charles H. Harper and completed in 1967, making it just one of a handful of modern buildings out of the 170 county landmarks recognized by the society. The recent recognition also reflects Johnson Controls’ long-term role as a leader in economic growth and environmental sustainability in Milwaukee County.
Focusing on the recognition, George Oliver, Johnson Controls’ Chairman and CEO, said, “Johnson Controls is a proud contributor to the Milwaukee metropolitan community and economy, and we are honoured that our Glendale campus and the innovation that it embodies has been recognized through this Landmark designation by the Milwaukee County Historical Society. We’ve been making buildings smarter since 1885, and our capabilities, depth of innovation experience, and global reach continue to grow as we work to transform the environments where people live, work, learn and play, to make them more sustainable, safer and more comfortable.”
