TARGET CENTER ARENA TARGET CENTER ARENA
Site: Minneapolis, Minnesota Size: 700,000 sqft Professor: Alejandro Ogata Team: Matt Everest, Aj Prizzi, and David Uballez
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.

TARGETCENTERARENA
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 mission for the new Target Center Arena project is to revitalize the downtown Minneapolis district by creating an epicenter for sports and entertainment. With this, we will have created a new home for the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx.�
SITE CONTEXT
LOCAL SITE
The existing Target Center, located in the heart of Minneapolis, Minnesota is surrounded 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 Minnesota Twins Baseball Team. A once desolate and deserted downtown has become a place of culture, arts, and live entertainment.
RESEARCH & SITE CONTEXT
07
MASTER SITE PLAN
FOOTPRINT The footprint for the new Target Center is similar to that of the original Target Center. 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 access 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 Center to Target Field. The link created by this plaza introduces a fun and exciting fan experience that brings two traditions of Minneapolis sports together.
Size of Arena: 700,000 sf Without Court: 504,000 sf Arena Seating Capacity: 16,000
N
ARRIVAL AT SITE Access to the site is important to the project. Many of the visitors to Target Center arrive via the parking ramps surrounding the arena by way of interstate. A lot of pedestrians 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 system that stops at Target Field, two blocks to the north.

FUNCTION
CONNECTION
OUT-BOARD
For the new Target Center to function at its best capabilities, 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.
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 people of Minneapolis.
To allow for consistent views into the event space, the concessions, shops, and lavatories are pushed outboard. 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.
PREMIUM SEATING
IN-BOARD
FOOTPRINT
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 premium seating, Target Center provides the first mega bowl seating. Resulting in better seats and more ticket sales.
To allow for favorable views towards the city and to connect the new Target Center Arena to Minneapolis, concessions are pushed in-board on the Upper Concourse. This opens up views from all sides of the arena.
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.

MINNEAPOLIS
ST. PAUL
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
KASOTA 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.
MATERIALS & INSPIRATION
13
UNIQUE FACADE SYSTEM 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 Minnesota’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 rooted 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 fabricated from perforated metal screens. The screen flows and bends around the building similarly to the river, while also providing a centerpiece for downtown Minneapolis.

TARGET CENTER EXPERIENCE The new Target Center Arena promises to bring exclusive premium amenities to the Timberwolves and Lynx professional basketball teams. As a part of the new experience, 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 entrance 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 different 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 comforts of a sit-down restaurant to the basketball experience. The New Target Center Arena will provide the most exciting and highest quality fan experience in the NBA.

A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
HVAC AIR MOVEMENT
Sports facilities leave some of the largest carbon footprints in buildings today. The goal is to create an arena that can actually give back to the environment rather than take away from it. The new Target Center wants to establish a precedent in professional sports arena design by achieving a United States Green Building Council LEED Silver accreditation. The new Target Center Arena has several features that help eliminate 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 surrounded 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 living/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 MISSION FOR THE NEW LAWRENCE HUB PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE THE RAPIDLY GROWING WAREHOUSE ARTS DISTRICT IN LAWRENCE WITH A TRANSPORTATION CENTER THAT PROVIDES ALL MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE COMMUNITY.”
LOCAL SITE Surrounding the existing site are several buildings that are repurposed or are being repurposed for future development. Railroad lines are located north of the site with the Lawrence Burroughs Creek Trail located south. A once abandoned and underused area within the Lawrence community, has become the place for Final Fridays, filled with art, culture, and live entertainment.

THE CONCEPT The Burroughs Creek Trail and Linear Park runs from 11th to 23rd street along an abandoned rail corridor just West of Haskell Avenue 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 transportation 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 transportation to the people and the City of Lawrence.
N
CONNECTION The City of Lawrence contains several pathways for walking as well as biking. To bring this connection to the Lawrence Hub, a proposed shared path connects to the hub.
BUILD-UP Buildings 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.
CONNECTION To connect the Lawrence Hub to the shared path, one side of the hub was pushed outward to become parallel to the pathway.
OPEN SPACE To create an inviting public space within the Lawrence Hub, an opening was created by cutting out part of the middle section of the hub and overall creating an enclosed plaza like area.
PUSHING-IN To open up the Lawrence Hub to the City of Lawrence, the side nearest to the city/ urban area was pushed inwards. Doing this creates a better line of sight into the plaza and into the hub.
LINES OF SIGHT By cutting out certain sections of the Lawrence Hub, different lines of sight are established in and out from the hub.
EXPANDING COVER To allow for a better range of sun cover, the roof is expanded outwards from all sides, creating an awning around the hub and site.
NATURAL LIGHT Allowing for natural light to enter within the Lawrence Hub, openings were created in certain areas within the roof/awning structure.

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.

ARTSDISTRICT
Located on the East side in the City of Lawrence, the existing site is surrounded by major redevelopment. A once underutilized and abandoned part of Lawrence, is now a site/area of redevelopment and repurposes. Buildings and land now consists of bars, restaurants, and living/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.
“The mission for the arts district project is to provide the rapidly growing Warehouse Arts District in Lawrence with a complex that provides the city with habitable units and commercial spaces to attract inspiring artist and others to the area.�
LOCAL SITE Surrounding the existing site are several buildings that are repurposed or are being repurposed for future development. Residential neighborhoods are located west of the site with warehouses and other local businesses located to the East. A once abandoned and underused area within the Lawrence community, has now become the place for Final Fridays, filled with art, culture, and live entertainment.
SITE CONTEXT East of the City of Lawrence, is surrounded by major redevelopment. Several of the buildings located East of the site have been repurposed, into bars, restaurants, and living/work spaces. New development has brought Final Fridays to the area. With the site beginning to grow and expand, there is a need for more buildings that include living and commercial spaces to attract more people to the area.

MASTER SITE PLAN
FOOTPRINT The footprint for the new complex occupies a plot of land, which is underutilized within the Lawrence Warehouse Arts District. West of the new complex consist of neighborhoods, while to the East, warehouses and other local businesses. The new complex takes these two factors into consideration with its form and design. FUNCTION The new complex is located in Lawrence’s Warehouse Arts District. With redevelopment to the area as well as Final Fridays bringing in people from all over for the art, events, and entertainment, the area is rapidly growing. The new complex will provide living units for future inspiring artist and buyers, as well as commercial buildings that would attract more people to come to the area.

FOURTH STOREY
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.
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.
The third storey contains a mix of residential and apartment suits. These are provided with balconies and several views to the outside, allowing for people occupying the units to see and be a part of the activities taking place below.
The fourth storey is similar to the third storey, containing both residential and apartment suits. Balconies and views to the outside are provided to the living units as well for interactions taking place below.

THE CONCEPT This design was achieved by placing the commercial spaces on ground level and setting them back from the street. Wider sidewalks were created for people to walk, as well as providing a set back entrance inviting people to come in. Residential units were placed above the commercial spaces, creating a canopy and providing shade for the sidewalks 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 window. 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 thinking, the new complex’s design successfully takes into account the surrounding site context and works well with public use and transportation.
BUILDING UPWARDS
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.
SEPARATION By separating certain sections of the complex, different lines of sight are established, as well as creating internal pathways.
SLOPE Making sure that sunlight enters into the surrounding neighborhoods 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 neighborhoods and buildings around it.
OPEN SPACE Opening 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.
PUSHING INWARDS Pushing inward and setting back the ground level, provides a welcoming entrance for commercial spaces, as well as creates wider sidewalks for pedestrians. Units above the commercial spaces helps create a canopy/ awning and provides shade below.
PULLING UPWARDS By 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.
INTERNAL WALKWAY Punching 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.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

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.

WALKWAY An 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.

EARHART MUSEUM EARHART MUSEUM
Site: Atchison, Kansas Size: 11,000 sqft Professor: Roberto Castillo
Adjacent from this complex site is Amelia Earhart’s Birthplace, which is a historic 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 individual, 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 addition 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 distinctive 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 landmark for the Atchison community and a symbol to honor Amelia Earhart.

EARHARTMUSEUM
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.
“The purpose of the new amelia earhart museum is to honor Amelia and her accomplishments. Inside the museum, is the home for two of Earhart’s most distinctive planes where people from all around the world will be able to come and see.”
THE SITE Located in Atchison Kansas, the Amelia Earhart Museum is home to two of Earhart’s most distinctive planes. Placed adjacent to Earhart’s birthplace, the museum is a way to honor Amelia and her accomplishments. Sitting on top of a hill overlooking the Missouri River, the museum becomes a landmark for the Atchison community. It’s a sight to be seen and that will bring people from all over to experience the history of one of the most influential people of our time.

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.

MUSEUM STRUCTURE The design of Amelia Earhart’s Museum was attended to resemble that of an aircraft carrier. Like that of an aircraft carrier, the museum contains many layers that make up the overall unique and complicated design of the building.
SUPER STRUCTURE 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.
DESIGN FEATURES 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 escape 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.

HASKELL MUSEUM HASKELL MUSEUM
Site: Lawrence, Kansas Size: 35,000 sqft Professor: Marie Alice Lheureux and Kapila Silva
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 knowledge for the campus and a visible landmark for the University that will attract more people to the area.

HASKELLMUSEUM
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 assimilation 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.
“The purpose of the new addition to Haskell’s Cultural Center, is for it to become an epicenter of historical knowledge for the campus, as well as a visible landmark that will attract others to the area and to Haskell Indian Nations University.”
THE SITE 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.

SITE PLAN
81
PLANS Due to the complexity of the existing Cultural 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 connect 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.
N
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 faรงade. This entrance is the entry way into the museum.
LOWER LEVEL
SUB 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. Visitors 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 cafĂŠ. The lower level also accesses into the sacred space/ courtyard.
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.
SECTION The section cut shows the different level of function of the Cultural Center. The ground level consists of museum exhibition space, as well as auditorium space for students and visitors. The lower level consists of classroom space and offices. The section also shows the sacred space/ courtyard area.
