Bemidji State Birch Hall Redevelopment
Best practices for sustainable design were applied to redevelop the oldest residence hall at Bemidji State University in Bemidji, MN. The interior was redesigned for current student needs and the buildng was equipped with higher performance HVAC solutions. Difficult budget requirements were met and the result was new student housing close to campus. Elness Swenson Graham Architects collaborated on the project.
Bemidji State Linden Hall Redevelopment
Taking the renewal and sustainbility lessons from Birch Hall, again a budget effective solution was found to redevelop upperclassman, three-person suites on the Bemidji State Campus.
40 year old bricks and mortar and indoor climate systems were redesigned for cold climate comfort. Elness Swenson Graham Architects collaborated on the project.
