This high-performance building was designed to use 50% less energy than required by code. The four-story office building in located on the southern border of I-94 in downtown Saint Paul. In addition to a parking ramp and exterior garden, the building is equipped with a cafeteria and 1.5 floors of leasable space. Locker rooms and showers are in place awaiting finish-out when budgets allow. Flexible floor plans help to reduce churn rate (number of office transitions within a particular year). All workstations are within thirty feet of an exterior window. |
