Project Goal:
The space occupied by the Minnesota Population Center (MPC) is located beneath the auditorium classrooms of Willey Hall. Formerly spread among several locations in several buildings, MPC is now successfully consolidated into one location. The area is 18,000 square feet and was formerly occupied by the Nash Art Gallery, the River Bend Café and a large, curving passageway concourse between them. Although some of the physical characteristics of the space presented difficulties in accepting the architecture of an office workplace, the space and it's unique architectural elements provided opportunities for a lively, attractive place to work.

Outcome:
Construction complete. Click here to access MPC's website.
