Buildings designed today will need to meet the demands of the future; McKinley & Associates identifies the changes necessary in the design of today and to meet these demands. This approach helps to retain the buildings' long-term profitability and value, which achieves the buildings' sustainability.

McKinley approaches ecological design from a business perspective, offering proactive solutions to complex problems such as indoor air quality, energy efficiency, resource depletion, and water quality. With commercial and institutional project experience, the McKinley Team can work alongside local designers to provide sustainable design and construction guidance. We also offer full architectural design services and guided design workshops on sustainable design issues.

LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™ developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is the nationally accepted standard for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED recognizes that sustainable design requires a team approach to achieve the desired goals. McKinley has LEED Accredited Professionals on staff along with our skilled architectural/engineering team to efficiently and cost effectively achieve certification under this standard or we can guide you through the process in order to develop sustainability goals specific to your project.
