IDS Center Crystal Court Renovation Minneapolis, Minnesota Size: 22,500 Square Feet Completion Date: 2021
― WHAT IT IS
“For Philip Johnson in 1972, the Crystal Court celebrated how people move across time. Time is shortened for pedestrians who flow quickly between street and skyway as they link into downtown. Time is stretched for those who find water, trees, and casual seating an invitation to pause, gather and engage. In 2020, we feel lucky to be refining opportunities for such engagement within this beautifully timeless place.”

Building Repositioning - Workplace Strategy
Our Approach Delivering real value to our clients. The workplace is recognized as an asset that can be utilized effectively to define the brand, culture and ethos of your business, and attract the right customers and talent to push your organization forward. A successful workplace strategy shouldn’t be a static document. It should be the catalyst for an ongoing and living building philosophy.
2 Data Collection Engages stakeholders to build awareness of planning issues and to determine priorities. Data Collection involves deploying a diverse set of tactics to gain deeper and targeted insights. Running multiple data analytics allows us to see patterns of use and build an understanding of how a future space can support the objectives of the organization.
1
Mobilization Orients the team to the client’s vision and establishes clear goals and success metrics. Mobilization provides our teams with a comprehensive understanding about your organization including business objectives and strategic vision, culture, and organizational structure. The outcomes of this stage are a shared point of view, an agreed-upon approach, and a common understanding of priorities - even those that may be unresolved or challenging.
40
Analysis
3
Introduces options that satisfy the priorities and meet stakeholders’ stated goals. Analysis allows our team to layer data into a coherent set of findings. We often create a “dashboard” of key information that rapidly evaluates various scenarios. We also create visuals that enable users to understand the implications of early planning decisions on both cost and user experience.
Recommendations Provides clear directions for the next steps in the design process. Working through an iterative process, we propose recommendations that match the optimal strategy with the preferred degree of flexibility. From there, we create supplementary materials that support your work and staff through this new process. Working closely with designers, we help transition and translate recommendations into physical design solutions.
