WOLFE PARK PAVILION, ST. LOUIS PARK, MN

The Wolfe Park Pavilion in St. Louis Park serves as a multi-purpose support facility for the park.   The design was inspired by the existing veterans' memorial within the park.  The concept conveys a sense of permanence and history while providing amenities for the park.  Structural insulated panels and 2x6 wall construction contribute to an extremely well-insulated and air tight building.  Recycled content materials were used and low VOC finishes were selected for their impact on indoor air quality.  Large expanses of glass and a clerestory provide for a strong connection to the outdoors.  Two picnic shelters and a play area are also part of the project.
