PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />STATE FUNDED PROJECTS <br />As part of the process, we will <br />be completing the State required <br />Predesign manual. While somewhat <br />cumbersome, the manual does <br />prompt a proactive approach to the <br />design and understanding of the <br />project by requiring a thorough review <br />of various design metrics including: <br />• Individual Space Requirements <br />• The Basis Of Need <br />• Operational Requirements And <br />Costs <br />• Project Scheduling <br />• Sustainability Requirements <br />The completion of the document will <br />both inform the design of the project <br />and prove the City has performed the <br />due diligence required for a “shovel- <br />ready” project in advance of any <br />funding request. <br />As a proposed state-funded <br />project, the facility will be subject <br />to compliance with the state’s <br />B3 guidelines. Oertel Architects’ <br />approach to B3 focuses less <br />on completing a proscribed <br />“checklist” and more on utilizing <br />the requirements of the program to <br />improve the quality of each individual <br />project. We understand that one size <br />doesn’t fit all, and we will work to <br />provide a common-sense roadmap for <br />each of the B3 requirements. <br />Examples of projects we’ve worked <br />on with State Funding- Right, top: <br />The Ledge Amphitheater, The Palace <br />Theatre, Steele County Public Works <br />Facility, and the Mankato Transit <br />Facility. <br />The Ledge Amphitheater, Waite Park, MN <br />The Palace Theater, St. Paul, MN <br />Steele County Highway Department, Owatonna, MN <br />Mankato Metro Transit, Mankato, MN <br />MOUNDS VIEW COMMUNITY CENTER 2
