Renovation of a 250,000 square foot mixed-use building into a LEED Certified Platinum workplace for artists and creative professionals. New architectural design elements include a passenger elevator and stair tower clad in metal panels, which peels to become a canopy over the new entrance. Projections in the tower facade also provide natural light and air. A new entrance combines exhibition space, the metal canopy, and a faceted ramp into a transition zone to the native prairie landscape. The project is slated to be LEED Certified Platinum and will be completely heated and cooled by geothermal wells located beneath the landscape.
