CENTURY
COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE
This
pre-design identified a project specifically designed to support and enhance
goals established by the strategic and academic plans of the new Century
Community and Technical College: unification of the existing community and
technical college campuses; development of a strong connection to the community;
creation of an advanced technology learning environment for students; and
general facility renewal. In addition, the project creates an exciting and
enduring image for a campus that currently lacks a clear identity. A redesigned
site and circulation plan with a new pedestrian bridge will create a unified
campus, while the new Virtual Learning Center will provide a structural
and academic focus to the entire campus. In addition, the project creates

BETHEL
COLLEGE AND SEMINARY
The purpose of this study was
to anticipate and plan for the physical needs of Bethel College and Seminary
for the next twenty years. The entire 215-acre site and each of the facilities
have been reviewed in respect to changing academic programs, evolving demographics
and advancing technologies. A phased plan of expansion and improvement has
been prepared, including the costs and programmatic effects of each step.
The master plan is an ever-changing, living document of the Bethel College
and Seminary campus. This allows for a continuous updating process in which
each newly completed phase is recorded as it occurs along with its implications
for the remainder of the plan. |

METROPOLITAN
STATE UNIVERSITY
The Administrative and Student Center is located on the former
St. John’s Hospital site at the corner of East Seventh Street and Mounds
Boulevard in St. Paul, Minnesota. The site, high on Dayton’s Bluff, presents
a commanding presence over downtown St. Paul. The new center will consist
of the 59,450 SF New Main Building and two existing buildings of approximately
105,450 square feet. The existing buildings will be completely remodeled
in Phase II on both the interior and exterior including new roofs, an
improved energy envelope and energy-efficient lighting.

CONCORDIA
UNIVERSITY, ST.
PAUL, MN
This masterplan was developed to address a number of crucial
planning issues for Concordia University (formerly Concordia College)
as it prepares for increasing enrollment. Data was collected to quantify
building and space needs, and design and planning studies which address
building and open space patternscampus identity, and movement systems
were developed. The goals were to establish priorities for improvements,
help decide where and where not to build, and improve the aesthetics of
the campus and surrounding neighborhood.

MINNEAPOLIS
COMMUNITY COLLEGE
The intent of this 1978 masterplan
was to determine the best locations for buildings of a complete community
college program in the Loring Park neighborhood of Minneapolis. The study
consisted of three parts: a written and graphic program of required facilities,
an analysis of the desired relationship between spaces, and the generation
of three alternative schematic designs, with the design at left being chosen
by the building committee as the basis for future development. |
