Creating positive impacts on people, the planet,

and providing the greatest value for our clients VISION Architecture is beautiful for the harmony it creates between itself, it’s environment, and its inhabitants. Sustainable design is the natural progression of that vision with BKV designed buildings always responding to their context — their location, their function, and how they are used by their occupants. BKV Group has a holistic vision for the building’s life-cycle to appropriately respond to context, function, and use. We leverage sustainable design strategies by tapping into a wide spectrum of knowledge — of architecture, interior design, urban planning, energy modeling, engineering, landscape architecture, technology and science — with our clients receiving the benefit of decades of collective professional expertise. In addition, because there is no predetermined outcome or prototypical concept, our process yields work of extraordinary originality, crafted to the specific needs of the site, user and circumstances.

DISCOVER YOUR STORY CONCEPT/ VISIONING

Immersing our holistic team in your project from the very beginning to understand your culture, values, objectives, challenges, and location serve as inspiration to develop the project story and thresholds for action in your building. These insights inform the overarching vision/concept narrative that will drive every aspect of the design.

PLANNING: FUNCTION/OPERATIONS MEET FORM/DESIGN With the story in mind, Schematic Design focuses on function. BKV works with your operations SCHEMATIC DESIGN

team to understand the operational flow and adjacencies in order to plan efficient layouts that function well for your staff, while creating the experiential path of travel for your staff.

Preliminary massing, space plans, initial finish and FF&E selections are developed at this time resulting in a design that embodies your goals, concept narrative, and functional needs.

REFINING THE DESIGN Refinement of the concept and documentation occur during this phase by marrying DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

the space planning with the concept in a 3-dimensional illustration of the design.

Visualization presentations may include wireframe and/or rendered studies, plans, key elevations, initial detail, material and FF&E selections, and virtual reality walk throughs when warranted.

TECHNICAL DESIGN AND DOCUMENTATION Construction Documents include Massing Diagrams, Reference, Floor, Finish, Furniture, and CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

Reflected Ceiling Plans; Elevations; Sections; Details; Schedules; and Specifications necessary for your contractor and procurement professionals to execute the project. Documents are coordinated with in-house disciplines and outside consultants, and reviewed for QA/QC. Project bidding, permitting, cost verification, and VE may occur prior to construction.

EXECUTION During Construction and Installation, BKV’s team is actively engaged with your General CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION

Contractor and Procurement teams: periodic site visits to monitor construction progress, responding to RFIs and submittals, helping the team address challenges that arise in the field, and review of FF&E, artwork and Accessory installation. Our team responds quickly to keep the project progressing.

GOVERNMENT WORKPLACE EXPERIENCE

FRIDLEY CITY OFFICES Fridley, Minnesota

SIZE 119,614 GSF

The Fridley City Offices brings all municipal services under one roof, including a new City Hall with administrative office, staff collaboration, and retreat spaces. The civic complex is a central feature in a larger project currently called the Columbia Arena Redevelopment, and features a central water feature, with plans for future private development.

Designing Fridley’s new civic campus had many unique challenges.

One of the City’s goals was to maximize the area for private development on the site, while still allowing sufficient space for the City’s needs and a large water feature with walking trails connecting to the nearby park system. BKV Group designed a master plan for the entire site that minimized the City’s footprint to maximize the remaining site area for other uses.

Working on a restrained site, site access and circulation were very important to ensure all operational needs were achieved for the public works, fire, and police departments. In addition, the buildings were designed to allow open views of the new water feature and create a daylit modern work environment.

WRIGHT COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER Buffalo, Minnesota

SIZE 222,538 SF

After extensive study, the County decided to build a new Government Center co-located with their Law Enforcement and Justice Centers, relocating their large Human Services Department. This new 4-story, 222,538 SF facility at 3650 Braddock Ave. NE now houses 14 County departments, the County Board Room, and a Department of Motor Vehicles service center, providing a single point of service for citizens.

The Government Center’s interior, designed by BKV Group, features an intuitive layout with high-traffic departments like Assessor, Taxpayer Services, Planning and Zoning, Veterans Services, and License Center on the main level. The open lobby allows visibility to the second-floor Human Services Department, with large front windows providing natural light. The third floor houses the IT Department, administrative offices, and meeting rooms.

The 2,200-square-foot County Board Room, located on the main level, is glass-enclosed with 16-foot ceilings and three adjoining public conference rooms. To handle increased traffic, BKV Group reconfigured parking, expanding spaces from 275 to 1,600, and added a drive-through window for the License Center.

BKV Group provided comprehensive services, including planning, architecture, engineering, interior design, and landscape architecture.

After studying the redevelopment of the existing Government Center, they decided on a new facility to consolidate County departments into one cohesive campus. This project has created a convenient Government Service Campus for the growing County.

CITY OF SHAKOPEE OFFICES Shakopee, Minnesota

SIZE 21,000 SF Shakopee City Hall had been operating in the downtown area in a 21,000 SF renovated bank building since 1993 and operationally the city departments had run out of space. Due to the building’s location, options for expansion were limited. BKV Group partnered with the city to explore options to develop a new city hall that would allow the city to collocate city services into one facility and allow a one-stopshop approach for the citizens of Shakopee.

The new City Hall was designed as an extension of the existing police station, also designed by BKV Group. Public Works is located directly across the street creating a true city campus. The new facility includes a state-of-the-art council chambers and large community meeting room that may be used by the public. Key City services are located along a light-filled public service corridor creating seamless opportunities to conduct business between the public and city staff.

The exterior includes respectful features similar to the existing architecture while elevating the presence of the City Hall with a clear and easily accessible public entry. The two buildings are connected with an airy and light filled corridor with floor to ceiling windows. The lobby was designed to act as the City’s “living room,” a social gathering place including a fireplace, seating, and curved terrazzo stair.

One design challenge presented by the project was the limited site area which made it infeasible to meet the goal of fitting the entire city hall on one level. Thus, city functions had to be split between two levels which needed to be carefully planned to maintain staff and public circulation efficiency. The two levels are connected with an internal open stair for staff circulation along with a two-story lobby atrium space that brings daylight into the staff work areas and council chambers. A plaza area was developed in conjunction with the city hall project that provides a community amenity while visually connecting the adjacent city buildings into a city campus.

HENNEPIN COUNTY SOUTHSIDE SERVICE CENTER Minneapolis, Minnesota

SIZE 21,000 SF After nearly two years of planning, design, and construction, the new Hennepin County South Minneapolis Human Service Center at 2215 East Lake Street opened this May. This center is the sixth in Hennepin County and aims to provide convenient, decentralized services outside the downtown core. The building features an active façade with vibrant metal panels, 8,000 square feet of street-level retail space, and green roofs to absorb rainwater and reduce urban temperatures. Bike racks, inviting site amenities, and outdoor seating areas enhance the neighborhood’s pedestrian appeal.

Designed as an anchor to the neighborhood, the retail spaces will be filled with cafes, restaurants, and shops that cater to residents and County employees. Up to 1,000 people, including clients and staff, are expected to use the center daily, making accessibility a priority.

The project faced numerous challenges, taking 13 years to redevelop despite its prime location near a busy LRT station. A lengthy public engagement process involved many stakeholders with diverse expectations. The site had to accommodate existing users, such as Minneapolis Public Schools and the Midtown Farmers’ Market, during construction, requiring creative solutions to manage site constraints and incompatible uses.

Street-level retail fronting Lake Street, structured parking, public open space, and interim and permanent space for the Farmers’ Market were essential components. The complex site required extensive grading and removal of a 7’ retaining wall, maintaining access to an existing school building. The development’s centerpiece is a covered parking structure with a green roof, open-air connections, and secure parking for residents and employees. The project has already transformed the bustling intersection and will eventually add 400+ units of affordable housing, meeting a significant neighborhood need and providing easy access to transit throughout the Metro area.

ROCHESTER NORTH SERVICE CENTER Rochester, Minnesota

SIZE 61,000 GSF

The Rochester North Police Station and Government Service Center is an adaptive reuse project that combines the Development Services and Infrastructure Center (DSIC) and the North Station for the Rochester Police Department (RPD). As space became limited at City Hall, the City of Rochester purchased a former bank building and land to relocate the RPD and the DSIC team. The previous space used by RPD was shared with the County Sherriff and did not provide adequately sized operational and support spaces for the growing department.

The project began with renovating the 43,200 SF existing building to accommodate DSIC staff and RPD support spaces such as locker rooms and shared fitness area. The second phase was the construction of a 54,600 SF addition to house the RPD North Station.

SKANSKA OFFICE Alexandria, Virginia

SIZE 6,500 SF Renovation 3,900 SF Expansion

Skanska Infrastructure Development, a business unit of Skanska, hired BKV Group to provide architectural and interior design services for the renovation of their current 6,500 sf space and 3,900 expansion.

The project was to be executed in three phases to enable the office to functions to be uninterrupted while construction commenced.

The design utilized the International Corporate Standards, while providing unique functional requirements specific to the ID organization. Through the use of feature materials and open workstation layout, the design created an open, bright environment which cultivates collaboration and team participation.

The project consisted of the development of a new state of the art board room, catering pantry equipped with seating lounge, collaboration break-out spaces, huddle rooms, and a new reception area equipped with a new suite entry. The existing workstations and conference rooms were upgraded and reconfigured to accommodate the new office layout.

The key design criteria for the reception area was to provide a unique interpretation of the corporate branding guidelines. This interpretation resulted in the creation of a wood feature element inscribed with the corporate logo. This recessed ‘S’ reflects the subtle yet significant concepts associated with Skanska. The project was designed with numerous sustainable features and has been submitted for LEED Gold certification.

SIZE 250,000 SF MoZaic is a transit-oriented, mixed-use development that is organized around a large urban plaza, and connects dining and commercial uses at grade level with the Hennepin transit station. The design makes the most of its constrictive site geometry and creates a multi-modal transit hub, aligning with its design vision to produce a meaningful building that’s responsive to its dynamic site and users. With the restaurant, retail, and parking spaces underneath three floors of office space at the top of the building, it creates the added benefit of putting programs you wanted to have views on a higher podium.

BARSTOOL SPORTS Chicago, Illinois

With offices desiring to reinvent their spaces to attract and retain workers, multimedia sports and entertainment company Barstool Sports had a clear vision of what it wanted for its new corporate headquarters in relocating from New York to Chicago’s hip Fulton Market neighborhood. The result: an un-office concept designed to be a “fun-factory” for its talented and dynamic content creators.

DELIVERING THE “WOW” Enlisted to bring the concept to reality, BKV refurbished the entirety of the 33,000-square-foot, two-story loft space, which includes a dozen podcast studios, three large broadcast studios, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, full-length basketball court and open-office seating overlooking the court for the companies’ approximately 60 employees to work, create, mingle, and of course, play.

EDEN PRAIRIE POLICE DEPARTMENT REMODEL Eden Prairie, Minnesota

The BKV Group team is working with the Eden Prairie Police Department in programming, planning, and full design services for a 100,000 SF renovation of an existing city owned office building to relocate the police department to provide much needed improvements to their operational space and opportunities for the department to grow in-place.

This project is planned to include an approximate 5,000 SF addition to support the department’s special response team operational needs as well as site improvements to provide secure parking for staff.

Located within a shared facility with city hall, the renovated station will include an approximate 60 stall squad garage with detention and evidence spaces in the lower level. Staff offices and support areas will be located on the main level with improved wayfinding and public access. Working closely with the department, the operational flow was carefully throughout to maximize efficiencies for day to day operations. The renovation is being planned to maximize daylight to the interior spaces utilizing existing clerestory windows, while activating the circulation spaces to provide opportunities for staff to organically collaborate through thoughtfully placed conversation areas.

Let’s move forward

The office is a critical tool to be competitive by fostering innovation for growth that can only be achieved when people work effectively together face-to-face — to get the hard work done. And employees need to be reassured they are returning to an environment that supports their physical, cognitive, and emotional wellbeing. A place where they want to be rather than where they have to be. A place that fulfills their innate human need for connection, a shared sense of purpose and community.

Let’s create a place you love.
