Year Completed: 2019

Location: Arden Hills, MN

Client: Ramsey County

Square Footage: ———

Hagen Christensen & McIlwain Architects and its team developed a comprehensive Feasibility and Planning Study for Ramsey County’s existing Public Works Campus.  The existing 1.5 million square foot site included an operationally inefficient 250,000 square foot building that housed not only the Ramsey County Public Works staff but also five other On-Site Partners, such as the Ramsey County Sheriff Department.  Through a three-phased approach of:

1). Building Audit/Assessment

2). Program Needs Study

3). Master Planning Space Study

It was determined that the long-term needs of Ramsey County could be met although not all of the On-Site Partners would be able to remain on site.  Cost estimates for all Master Planning options were prepared by Kraus Anderson.
