Target Center, located in the heart of Minneapolis, was once the center for basketball and exclusive live performances, but after many years of use and the advancement of arena architecture, it no longer competes with other cities in the NBA and concert venue marketplace. The new Target Center Arena, promises to not only deliver a new arena that competes with the top venues in the country, but extends urban renewal in the central Minneapolis district.

The design of the new Target Center Arena will focus on 3 primary concepts: an interactive and modernized fan experience, exclusive premium amenities that are unique to Minneapolis, and a state-of-the-art facade system that reflects importance of water and rivers to the history of Minneapolis. The new Target Center will be the new standard in professional sports arena design.

To conclude, the new Target Center Arena will restore the spirit and vitality of the downtown district of Minneapolis. With its innovative design, the new arena will bring top name concerts and events to the city, as well as national and international sporting events. The new Target Center will create and bring a genuine and exciting fan experience that reiterates the tradition of Minnesota basketball in Minneapolis.

TARGET CENTER

SITE CONTEXT

The existing Target Center, located in the heart of Minneapolis, Minnesota is surround-ed by dense urban infrastructure and a major interstate highway. After many years of use and the advancement of arena architecture, it no longer competes with other cities in the NBA and concert venue marketplace.

Surrounding the existing Target Center are 3 parking ramps, located to the North, West, and East. Target Field is also located to the North, which is home to the Minne-sota Twins Baseball Team. A once desolate and deserted downtown has become a place of culture, arts, and live entertainment.

The footprint for the new Target Center is similar to that of the original Target Cen-ter. This allows for less disturbance to the local site, as well as a cheaper building cost.

TRANSPORTATION

The new Target Center Arena is located in the heart of Minneapolis, making ac-cess to the site possible by many means of transportation; City Bus, Light Rail, Parking

Ramps, Pedestrian Sidewalks, and Skywalk System

PUBLIC PLAZA CONNECTION

One of the great features of the site is the public plaza linking the New Target Cen-ter to Target Field. The link created by this plaza introduces a fun and exciting fan experience that brings two traditions of Minneapolis sports together.

ARRIVAL AT SITEAccess to the site is important to the proj-ect. Many of the visitors to Target Center arrive via the parking ramps surrounding the arena by way of interstate. A lot of pe-destrians travel by means of the sidwalks and skyways found throughout the city There is a small percentage of patrons that use the Minneapolis Light Rail sys-tem that stops at Target Field, two blocks to the north.

09MASTER PLAN & RESPONSE

For the new Target Center to function at its best capabili-ties, the Event Level was designed at grade. This results in a better ease of access for staff and as well as event preparation of the arena.

FUNCTION

Premium seating is an important and essential part to the new Target Center. Loge and Suite seating can be found on top of one another and is provided around the arena. To give general admission patrons a feel of premi-um seating, Target Center provides the first mega bowl seating. Resulting in better seats and more ticket sales.

PREMIUM SEATING

Due to the cold weather in Minneapolis, a skyway system can be found throughout the city, allowing shelter and travel from the cold. The new Target Center incorporates the skyway system connecting it to the city and the peo-ple of Minneapolis.

CONNECTION

To allow for favorable views towards the city and to con-nect the new Target Center Arena to Minneapolis, con-cessions are pushed in-board on the Upper Concourse. This opens up views from all sides of the arena.

IN-BOARD

To allow for consistent views into the event space, the concessions, shops, and lavatories are pushed out-board. This results in views from all sides of the arena and allows the viewers to remain connected to any event that is taking place within the arena.

OUT-BOARD

The overall footprint for the new Target Center is similar to that of the original Target Center. This keeps the design at a cheaper cost as well as allowing the city to retain a familiar feeling in the sports district area.

FOOTPRINT


The façade of Minneapolis’ new arena, which is rooted in the St. Anthony Falls of the Mississippi River, is the face of the new Target Center Arena and is inspired by the powerful Mississippi River. The river travels through Minneapolis and St. Paul, the “Twin Cities” of Minnesota.

MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL

13MATERIALS & INSPIRATION

The design of the arena is heavily rooted in Minnesota history and culture. One material that is helping communicate this idea is the use of Kasota Stone from nearby Kasota. This stone will line our entrance and welcome visitors to the New Target Center Arena.

The design of the arena is heavily rooted in Minnesota history and culture. One of the key features of the new Target Center is its state-of-the-art advanced facade system that reflects importance of water and rivers to the history of Minneapolis. The new facade system incorporates the history of Minneapolis and its mills by creating a flowing pattern of metal panels, glass curtain walls, and Minne-sota’s own Kasota stone. The Kasota stone reflects the material’s importance in the city as well as creates a visual link to Target Center’s neighbor, Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins.

The façade of Minneapolis’ new arena, which is root-ed in the St. Anthony Falls of the Mississippi River, is the face of the new Target Center Arena. Inspired by the powerful Mississippi, the new façade is fabricat-ed from perforated metal screens. The screen flows and bends around the building similarly to the river, while also providing a centerpiece for downtown Minneapolis.

The new Target Center Arena promises to bring exclusive premium amenities to the Timberwolves and Lynx professional bas-ketball teams. As a part of the new experi-ence, Target Center Arena, offers The Den; a two-story VIP club and bar that services Target Center before and after games plus the offseason. It not only serves as an en-trance for premium ticket holders, but as the most exclusive club in Minneapolis. It has two full-service bars, two executive lounges, and a private speakeasy for VVIP guests.

As for the premium amenities inside of the arena, Target Center offers three differ-ent private suites: a mega-suite, a bunker suite, and a standard suite. In addition to the suites, there are several exclusive clubs within the arena. On the event level there’s a club tucked behind the bunker suites so VIP fans can recap the game and connect. Going up the arena, located on the skywalk level, you’ll find Club T. This club with views overlooks the floor so you can converse with friends and watch the Wolves play. Lastly there is the 5-Star Loge which is located on the level above; these seats bring the com-forts of a sit-down restaurant to the basket-ball experience. The New Target Center Are-na will provide the most exciting and highest quality fan experience in the NBA.

A SUSTAINABLE FUTURESports facilities leave some of the largest carbon footprints in buildings today. The goal is to create an arena that can actual-ly give back to the environment rather than take away from it. The new Target Center wants to establish a precedent in profes-sional sports arena design by achieving a United States Green Building Council LEED Silver accreditation. The new Target Center Arena has several features that help elimi-nate its carbon footprint and creates a better environment for the City of Minneapolis. One of these features are solar panels located on the roof; these panels will help offset some of the electrical cost of the arena and therefore use less coal. Along with this, the arena will use power from the St. Anthony Falls dam to help offset these electrical costs as well. The new Target Center will also implement a water collection system that harvests rain water for use in toilets throughout the arena. The new Target Center Arena will not only set the standard in architectural design but from an environmental design standpoint as well.

The existing site, located on the East side in the City of Lawrence, is surround-ed by major redevelopment. Much of the site/ area around and buildings within the area have been redeveloped and repurposed. A once underutilized and abandoned part of Lawrence has been turned into bars, restaurants, and liv-ing/work spaces. This new development has brought Final Fridays to the area, where many people come to gather for the art, culture, and live entertainment. With the site beginning to grow and expand, it has become noticeable in the lack within Lawrence’s public transportation infrastructure.

The new Lawrence Hub is located in Lawrence’s Art district. Occupying a small area, the Lawrence Hub, connects trails, bike paths, as well as bus routes, providing all means of transportation for the community and the rest of the City of Lawrence.

To conclude, the new Lawrence Hub will provide the people and the City of Lawrence with a new transportation epicenter that caters to all forms of trans-portation. The new hub will also provide outdoor and indoor spaces for people to come and gather, where they can host events, relax, and socialize.

LEGEND

THE CONCEPTThe Burroughs Creek Trail and Linear Park runs from 11th to 23rd street along an aban-doned rail corridor just West of Haskell Av-enue in Lawrence, Kansas. The trail made possible by Lawrence Parks and Recreation and the Public Works Department, extends 1.7 miles following the Burroughs Creek and features extensive landscaping.

Providing Lawrence with a new transporta-tion hub system, allows the possibility for the Burroughs Creek Trail to expand north and connect to the new Lawrence Transportation Hub. Expanding the trail North provides new landscaping to an area of Lawrence that is underutilized and forgotten. Expanding the trail makes use of these forgotten spaces.

By linking the trail to the new hub system, creates an overall transportation epicenter and overall caters to all forms of transporta-tion to the people and the City of Lawrence.

N


The City of Lawrence contains several pathways for walking as well as biking. To bring this connection to the Law-rence Hub, a proposed shared path connects to the hub.

CONNECTIONBuildings surrounding the Lawrence Hub are similar in height. Raising the Lawrence Hub to a similar height as the surrounding buildings, connects the hub to the area and the community.

BUILD-UPTo connect the Lawrence Hub to the shared path, one side of the hub was pushed outward to become parallel to the pathway.

CONNECTIONTo create an inviting public space with-in the Lawrence Hub, an opening was created by cutting out part of the mid-dle section of the hub and overall creat-ing an enclosed plaza like area.

OPEN SPACE

To open up the Lawrence Hub to the City of Lawrence, the side nearest to the city/ urban area was pushed in-wards. Doing this creates a better line of sight into the plaza and into the hub.

PUSHING-INBy cutting out certain sections of the Lawrence Hub, different lines of sight are established in and out from the hub.

LINES OF SIGHTTo allow for a better range of sun cover, the roof is expanded outwards from all sides, creating an awning around the hub and site.

EXPANDING COVERAllowing for natural light to enter within the Law-

rence Hub, openings were created in certain ar-

eas within the roof/awning structure.

Located on the East side in the City of Lawrence, the existing site is surround-ed by major redevelopment. A once underutilized and abandoned part of Law-rence, is now a site/area of redevelopment and repurposes. Buildings and land now consists of bars, restaurants, and living/work spaces. This new de-velopment has brought Final Fridays to the area, where many people come to gather for the art, culture, and live entertainment.

The Warehouse Art District is growing rapidly and with this, there is a need for more buildings that include living and commercial spaces to attract more people to the area. With this though, there needs to be consideration for the buildings around the area.

The overall inspiration for the new complex is to provide the area with habitable units for future artist and buyers, as well as containing commercial buildings to attract more people to come to the area. While doing this, the design is to bring in elements of the warehouse district on one side, while making sure there was no disturbance to the neighborhood on the other side.

At ground level, commercial spaces were created and set back from the street. By doing this, wider sidewalks were formed for people to walk, as well as providing a set back entrance, which invites others to come in.

GROUND LEVEL

On the second storey, residential units were created above the commercial spaces. Placing living units at this level creates a canopy/ awning which provide shade for the sidewalks below.

SECOND STOREY

The third storey contains a mix of residen-tial and apartment suits. These are pro-vided with balconies and several views to the outside, allowing for people occupy-ing the units to see and be a part of the activities taking place below.

The third and fourth floors contained a mix of residential and apartment suits, allowing for people to see the activities below. The central space of the complex consists of parking spaces and courtyards, overall making the surrounding streets more pedestrian friendly.

To bring in the warehouse/ industrial feel, the facade consists of glass walls that extend from the first floor to the top. Corten steel wall panels were placed next to each win-dow. This was repeated around the overall design. The outer facade contains 70% of glass or open space and 30% solid walls. This creates an open feeling for people to view outward. Inside the courtyard space and parking area, the facade is 70% solid walls and 30% glass, creating a more private feeling/ space. Making sure that sunlight still enters into the neighborhood and courtyard area, the complex slowly slopes from the 9th street corridor towards 8th street, allowing the building to be the same height as the neighborhood houses around.

With research of the site and creative think-ing, the new complex’s design successful-ly takes into account the surrounding site context and works well with public use and transportation.


Buildings surrounding the new complex are similar in height. Raising the design to a similar height as the surrounding buildings, connects the complex to the surrounding structures around it.

BUILDING UPWARDSBy separating certain sections of the complex, different lines of sight are es-tablished, as well as creating internal pathways.

SEPARATIONOpening up the central space of the complex, creates a place for parking spaces and public courtyards. This overall allows the surrounding streets to become more pedestrian friendly.

OPEN SPACEBy pulling upwards the side closest to the Lawrence neighborhoods, helps create a sound buffer/ barrier between the neighborhoods and events taking place in the arts district area.

PULLING UPWARDS

Making sure that sunlight enters into the surrounding neighborhoods and court-yard area, the complex slowly slopes from the 9th street corridor towards 8th street, allowing the building to be the same height as the neighborhoods and buildings around it.

SLOPEPushing inward and setting back the ground level, provides a welcoming entrance for commercial spaces, as well as creates wider sidewalks for pe-destrians. Units above the commercial spaces helps create a canopy/ awning and provides shade below.

PUSHING INWARDSPunching out a hole within the facade facing the 9th street corridor, creates an internal walkway between one side of the complex to the other. This creates a covered walkway for people, as well as allowing light to enter into the central space.

INTERNAL WALKWAY

RESIDENTIAL

The new complex slowly slopes from the 9th street corridor towards 8th street. Creating this unique design for the new complex helps relate to the neighborhoods on the West side, with each having similar building heights.

INDUSTRIAL

To bring in the warehouse/ industrial feel to the design, the facade consists of glass walls that extend from the first floor to the top. Corten steel wall panels were placed next to each glass window.

INTERNAL WALKWAY 61

WALKWAYAn internal walkway within the new complex was created by opening a hole inside the facade/structure facing towards the 9th street corridor. Doing this allows for people living within the complex, as well as visitors, to travel from one side to the building to the other, while being covered from the weather and other conditions. The opening also allows sunlight to enter into the central space of the new complex.

Located in Atchison Kansas, the existing site is an open plot of land looking over the Missouri River. Surrounded in a residential area, the site contains the only open parcel left within the neighborhood. The site is very complex due to the fact that the site is essentially a giant hill leading to a large drop off towards the Missouri River.

Adjacent from this complex site is Amelia Earhart’s Birthplace, which is a his-toric building and museum about Amelia’s life. Built in the 19th century, the museum once attracted many people to visit and learn about an amazing indi-vidual, but through time less and less people have been visiting the museum. To attract people back to the area and to visit Earhart’s birthplace, a new addi-tion to the museum now sits opposite of the historic building.

The new Amelia Earhart addition sits on top of a hill overlooking the Missouri River. Inside the museum contains information and exhibits about Earhart’s life and flight history, as well as being the home for two of Earhart’s most distinc-tive planes that she flew the Lockheed Vega and the Lockheed Electra. Amelia Earhart was an important person in history and for Atchison Kansas. With the museum sitting on top of the hill overlooking all of Atchison, it becomes a land-mark for the Atchison community and a symbol to honor Amelia Earhart.

GROUND LEVEL LOWER GROUND LEVEL

The entrance to Amelia Earhart’s Museum is located at ground level, due to the fact that the site is embedded into a hillside. At ground level, there is only the mezzanine, which overlooks the exhibition and other exhibits below at lower level.

At lower ground level, there is a large exhibition space for visitors, as well as a place/space to set up for eating and dining. The lower ground level also contains restrooms, as well as a kitchen and offices for employees. A ramp from the upper level to the lower level runs along the side of the museum.

EAST ELEVATION

Sitting at the top of the hill and at the East end of the mu-seum, a large glass wall overlooks the Missouri River. The museum becomes a landmark for the Atchison community.

SOUTH ELEVATION

The South elevation of the museum overlooks the river, as well as a view towards the city. When heading towards the museum, visitors are able to see glimpses of the exhibition spaces inside.

THE PERSPECTIVE 71

PERSPECTIVE VIEWThe perspective section cut shows the many layers of the museum, not just the structural layers of the design, but as well as the pedestrian circulation of the design.

MUSEUM STRUCTUREThe design of Amelia Earhart’s Museum was attended to resemble that of an aircraft carri-er. Like that of an aircraft carrier, the museum contains many layers that make up the overall unique and complicated design of the build-ing.

The super structure of the museum is its most unique feature. Made up of large steel columns that are shaped and intertwined together, the structure resembles the form of something you would see in a plane.

SUPER STRUCTURE

To cool the building, vents are placed in the lower floor plates at the East end of the building. Air that passes above the river will cool and come through the building. Hot/ warm air will es-cape through top slits on the West side of the museum. Beneath the super structure is a glass casing dome, where the suns natural light can enter into the space.

Located in Lawrence Kansas, the Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU) is a premier national intertribal university that serves the education needs of the first nations across the United States. Started as a government-run assimila-tion school in Lawrence Kansas, HINU evolved into a university with the vision of being a national center for education, research, and cultural preservation of Native American tribes.

To celebrate the establishment of the University, the Haskell Cultural Center was built. Located near the main entrance of the University, the Center serves as a steward for American Indian cultural traditions. It is a truthful narrative of HINU’s evolution and a place of living heritage, as well as a teaching facility for tribes and the general public.

To better serve this mission for the HINU, an addition was added to the current Center, with the intention of expanding the building for more exhibit space and providing a bigger area to educate its students, as well as its visitors. With this new addition to the Cultural Center, the Center becomes an epicenter of knowl-edge for the campus and a visible landmark for the University that will attract more people to the area.

SITE PLAN 81

The site is located near the main entrance of the University at the existing Haskell Cultural Center along the main drive. The current Center sits on top of a small hill which has a slight slope that ends at a neighborhood located behind the University. The site is somewhat complicated, due to its proximity with the neighborhood, as well as making sure the design of the addition does not take away from the existing Cultural Center.

The Cultural Center itself is of simple form and design. Consisting of 2 levels and a rectangular form, the Center was built out of large timber logs and a steel stable roof. This poses another challenge, when designing the addition.

THE SITE

N

Due to the complexity of the existing Cultur-al Center and the site, the addition needs to make sure not to take away from the Center as well as honoring Haskell University, without disturbing the neighborhoods nearby.

The design of the addition also needs to con-nect to the rectangular form of the Center and the materials that make up its structure.

This is done by creating three rectangular forms that connect at one end of the Center at ground level and gradually descend and connect at the lower level on the other end of the Center. The overall form of the Center become a square on the outside, but creates the feel of a spiral on the inside The addition also creates a sacred space/ courtyard for students and visitors in closed in the middle, which is open to the sky.

PLANS

GROUND LEVEL

The entrance to the Cultural Center and addition is located at ground level. There are two entrances into the building, one entrance is the existing entrance of the Center, which leads visitors and students into an auditorium space. The second entrance is located on the other end of the East façade. This entrance is the entry way into the museum.

FLOOR PLANS 83

LOWER LEVEL

To enter into the lower level of the Cultural Center, visitors must make their way through the spiral of the museum by descending gradually from ground level. Visi-tors and students also may take the lifts and stairs. The lower level contains part of the museum exhibit space, as well as class rooms, offices, gift shop, and café. The lower level also accesses into the sacred space/ courtyard.

SUB LEVEL

Sub level is accessed by lifts and stair cores. The sub level contains MEP space, janitorial offices, and security offices. This is a restricted area from visitors and students.

EAST ELEVATION

The East elevation faces the University and contains the most important view towards the Cultural Center, as well as out of the Center to the campus. This is important, because visitors are able to see the existing Haskell Cultural Center and how the addition connects to it without taking away from its original design.

The view from out of the Cultural Center is im-portant and symbolic. A large curtain wall fac-es out to the campus and towards the great Arch of Haskell Stadium. The Arch is import-ant to the University, because it serves as a memorial to soldiers from Haskell who served in World War 1. The entrance into the addition of the Cultural Center sits directly across from the entrance to the Arch.
