Site work and renovation of a mixed-use development in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility; and for site work for a municipal facility.

This project will expand the loading dock, upgrade security scanning equipment, and improve site storage capacity on the lower level of the Hennepin County Government Center, located at 300 S. Sixth Street in downtown Minneapolis. Purpose & Description: The current Government Center lower level loading dock has maintained its original design layout since being built in the 1970's. Since the original design, security requirements such as scanning equipment, cameras, and physical security have been added to the space. Today, the loading dock is one of the smallest in the Minneapolis downtown metro area. Making the space not ideal in today's modern environment for the large amount of people, contractors, equipment, and supplies that are being funneled through the loading dock on daily basis. In 2023, the entire Digital Imaging Division located directly behind the lower level loading dock were relocated to floor A-9 of the Government Center. Vacating a large area directly behind the current loading dock's footprint. This vacated space can be re-utilized and would allow for a massive expansion of the entire loading dock area on the lower level. This project would triple space of the loading dock, allow for an upgrade in scanning equipment, improve visibility of physical security, increase on site storage, equipment staging, and enhance the flow and efficiency of deliveries. A schematic design study of this project was completed in 2023. Multiple floor layouts, inputs from security, facility managers, and users were incorporated into the 2023 schematic design study. This project is included in the County's 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of October 16, 2025, contractor awarded in March 2024. Construction began in May 2024 and was completed by November 2025.
