McDonald’s Oxford is built from light steel and fibre cement, which reduces material wastage by 30% and transport costs by 80%. LSFB restaurants cool down and re-heat faster than conventional buildings, making them a more comfortable environment for customers. The carbon footprint of the building is also significantly reduced. The building is fully endorsed by the Green council.
