| | Constructed on a fast-track, 14-month schedule, the 440,000 square foot, four-story office building has a cast-in-place concrete, wide module frame. Because of the condensed construction schedule, the design of portions of the concrete floor system was controlled by the construction phase loads, which were greater than the service live loads. This allowed other trades to move in and start work with only one floor of re-shoring. High early strength concrete, self-supporting pour strips, partial post-tensioning, portable batch plant, and a can-do approach by the design team also helped to complete this “fast track” project on time. |

| | Delivered on a fast track, this project consisted of a new facility to house Seagate's Twin Cities operations. The steel framed structure provides office, laboratory, and clean-room facilities. Other structural systems include concrete floors, and steel joist and deck roof. Exterior walls are constructed using non-bearing, insulated precast concrete units. |

University of Minnesota
Stanius Johnson Architects
Knutson Construction
| | As one of the leaders in mechanical engineering technology, the University of Minnesota wished to expand and update its facilities. The result was a new five-level building with a variety of labs including specialized labs for advanced environmental engineering, high temperature, thermal optics, robotics, and wet chemicals study, as well as a 1,400 square foot prototyping lab. Other spaces include classrooms, competition hangers, a student lounge, and office space. Structural systems are almost entirely cast-in-place concrete with a four-story, glass and steel atrium located at the entrance to the facility. The project also includes a large chiller plant, which contributes to the district cooling system. |

McGough Construction
| | The second phase of the H.B. Fuller Laboratory in Vadnais Heights doubled the size of the original building, adding approximately 146,000 square feet. The addition was framed with a cast-in-place, wide-module pan-joist system to support the heavier floor loads and virtually eliminate building system vibrations. Some of the prominent architectural features include sloped skylights, a two-story cafeteria with full-height glass, and a main entrance and conference area featuring architectural precast concrete. The project was delivered on a fast-track schedule. |
