Minneapolis Public Service Building

City of Minneapolis | Minneapolis, Minnesota

The new Minneapolis Public Service Building emulates a re-imagined holistic public service model. Honored with a 2021 AIA Minnesota Honor Award and a 2022 AIA New York Design Award, the building is praised for excellence in design for Integration, Change, Energy, Equitable Communities, and Well-Being. It’s the fourth and final face of downtown Minneapolis’ Government Plaza and is designed to serve as a public space that is inviting and accessible to all.

CMTA completed plumbing and fire protection design for the new, sustainable, 11-story public service building. The building is nestled in Minneapolis’ downtown Government Plaza and unites seven city departments and over 1,000 employees under one roof. Between the access to daylight, design openness, and collaborative gathering spaces, the Pubic Service Building promotes a healthy work environment. The building also features an abundance of local art reflecting the diversity of Minneapolis.
