<br />Project Experience <br /> <br /> <br />Contact: <br /> <br />Jenelle Teppen <br />Assistant City Administrator <br />65 1.450.2500 <br /> <br />City of Inver Grove Heights <br />City Hall Renovation <br />Inver Grove Heights, MN <br /> <br />Responding to the City of Plymouth's need to provide additional area for the Public Safety <br />department and an enclosed garage for police vehicles, we took a step back and master planned <br />the entire municipal site, The incorporation of these programmatic elements with the existing <br />City Hall unifies the complex and supports the natural setting.The secured squad garage is built <br />under; and into, the natural "bowl" reserving additional city park area as well as providing a <br />necessary security separation of police and staff vehicles.The landscape articulates and supports <br />this gesture through native plantings and low stone walls. <br /> <br />The main entrance to both city buildings is unified by a singular new entrance and lobby. This <br />transparent sunlit, conservatory-like, lobby space reinforces the connection to the park via its <br />axial relationship as well as its layered transparency. The visual connection is <br />augmented by the pulling through of planted materials from the park beyond and into and <br />surrounding the new entrance. The new visual and physical promenade as well as the <br />incorporation into the land of the parking structure provides a tangible statement about <br />Plymouth's dedication and commitment to the integration of the built and natural environment. <br /> <br />BKV <br /> <br />G R () U P <br />
