Preliminary DesiGn PacKaGe

Build it for this guy

He cares. A lot. Coaches and quarterbacks come and go, but this guy will always be with you, through thick and thin. He doesnt want a stadium he wants a Norse battleground that is vikings to the core. In the Fall of 2008, we undertook a 14-month exercise to make that happen. To uncover the essence of Minnesota and their team, and design a stadium that speaks to their true identity. Scandinavian character. Striking form. Timeless simplicity. High quality and value. And a focus on the craft of details, such as traditional Nordic patterns and clever assembly. The strongest influence, however is the regions commitment to environmental stewardship. We worked to design a stadium that is on the leading edge of sustainable design innovation. This also sets the stage for decades of energy savings and the potential for sponsorships from alternative energy companies, many of which evolved within the region.

Since then, we have developed two new design proposals that each speak to Minnesota and the vikings in their own ways, but that stay true to our original guiding principles: of building a battleground for viking superfans and the people of Minnesota. The Peoples Stadium.

Derived as a response to the buildings climate and the snow-shedding forms of traditional Nordic vernacular, this stadiums signature element is a monumental tilted arch that addresses the plaza and frames a view of the city skyline. The arch, its anchored canopy of support cables, and the sweeping curve of the downtown window wall help to create a massive outdoor room for celebration and gathering that blends interior and exterior. The interior volume and unique shape are instrumental in creating an environmentallyresponsive design. The steep, arching roof is built of lightweight fabric, and its shape helps to shed snow loads. The interior volume beneath is optimal for natural venturi effect ventilation during the summer months. The operable roof, translucent materials, and window wall give an open-air sensation recalling the Old Met. The translucent skin and arched opening transform the stadium into a singular glowing beacon at night, instantly recognizable from anywhere.

Scheme B creates a powerful, textured form by flipping alternating bands of a simple sloped roof. This creates a stadium that portrays an aggressive form while appearing almost weightless an aesthetic that recalls the sculpted veneer curves of mid-century scandinavian furniture. The lightweight roof structure, open ends, and unprecedented overhead clerestory windows contribute to the weightlessnes and help to create a bowl that would require almost no artifical lighting during daylight conditions. By night, the open ends and unique composition of clerestory openings help the stadium to stand out as an unmistakable beacon on the Minneapolis skyline. A series of pivoting frames with transparent pillow panes encloses the stadium at both ends, allowing for control over openings to help channel natural breezes and provide a picture perfect view to the downtown skyline.

fast tracK ProJects

The majority of HKS projects are completed under a fast track approach also known as accelerated project delivery. Our previous project large Sports and Entertainment experience, management systems and trained personnel allows us to successfully implement the necessary strategies to successfully and efficiently deliver the new Minnesota Multipurpose Stadium within this project approach. Success with an accelerated, or fast tracked, project depends upon a coordinated construction program. This relies heavily on the preconstruction activities of the entire project team, consisting of the owner, HKS, the construction manager and major subcontractors. The key to managing a fast track project is bidding work and starting construction while the design continues to be developed. utilities, structural systems and long-lead items can be completely designed and bid in early packages, while interiors and other disciplines are still in the development stage. Consideration must be given to combining the bid packages of the same systems of multiple phases into larger packages where the economies of scale can provide cost savings. Effective management of multiple bid packages requires a clear understanding of the construction managers subcontractor bidding process. We are proud of our successes in obtaining fair and competitive bids that result in quality construction at a reasonable market value.

HKS successfully delivered 24 design packages for Lucas Oil Stadium on an extreme Fast Track schedule.

buDget & scHeDuLe controL

Our reputation is built on the ability to deliver projects in line with the clients scope. HKS approaches cost control by formulating a total budget, including construction costs, FF&E, site work, fees, and contingencies. Our approach emphasizes the concept of designing to cost rather than adjusting costs to design or scope control during design. Producing designs within requested cost parameters has established HKS as an industry leader. We use proven, historic project cost data during the design process combined with a proactive, dynamic cost control approach. We categorize, store and index project type information in our database as it relates to current geographical market conditions. Cost data is compared and updated with our consultants and contractors. At each project phase, costs are reviewed and confirmed alongside historical data. Our cost control process, better known as HKS value management, is a key element of document delivery. Internal design tools such as product specifications, HKS guide sheets and established HKS minimum design standards are used to develop an initial project scope consistent with the client-provided budget.

buiLDing information moDeLing (bim)

HKS was one of the first architectural firms to extensively use Building Information Modeling (BIM). Today, our firm has more than $1 billion in construction underway using Autodesk revit, a BIM software. revit allows us to explore complex architectural geometry with a realistic and intelligent model that is seamlessly integrated with automatically coordinated construction documents. Simply put, instead of one-dimensional drawings or 2D AutoCAD files, BIMs 3D approach allows the owner and building team to see how the pieces of their project from its three-story atrium to its door frames - fit together in real time. Architects, engineers and contractors are seeing the benefits of revit. If implemented properly, the program has been known to cut down the coordination of drawing time, minimize reference number mistakes and leave more room for design in our budgets. Communications of the interior and exterior design intent with clients is also greatly improved creating a win/win situation for all involved.

resolVinG DisPutes
Every project encounters some level of dispute at one point or another, and all of the projects shown have had at least a modicum of discussion related to conflict. HKS subscribes to the belief that healthy debate can and will lead to a better solution. The important issue to keep in mind, and the method that we apply is to keep discussions and exchanges professional, and not personal and in the event there is misunderstanding or disagreement, to be able to pull back and refocus.

litiGation
During our 73-year history, HKS has been involved in formal mediation, arbitration and litigation. However, all of the disputes have been resolved well within the limits of professional liability coverage. We have never failed to complete any work due to claims or suits.
