HCM Architects was hired by Allina Health to design a new commuter bike center in a vacant space along the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis, MN. The key program elements are secure bike storage, locker / shower / toilet room facilities, a coffee shop, retail bike shop and a small office space for the Midtown Greenway Coalition. The design utilizes a central lobby area with stairs, ramp, and expansive windows to act as a hub and hangout area for patrons of the facility. The space features bicycle showers, workspace, access to professional mechanics, e-bike charging and various rack options to accommodate all shapes and sizes of bicycles. The common locker area is supported by individual showers and changing rooms for privacy. New exterior windows, security shutters and a custom mural commissioned by Allina all help to further compliment the space.
