Millwright Building - Minneapolis MN
Gage Brothers manufactured the precast concrete for the Millwright Office Building. Located in Minneapolis, the approximately 200,000 square foot, four-story structure abuts the Wells Fargo towers. The entry plaza, designed with a set back from Portland Avenue, creates a full “walk to the park” experience even in the concrete jungle.
The building was designed in the style of historic brick warehouses of Minneapolis, with arched and steel-like divided windows, and has been carefully detailed to enforce the perception of an old building that blends in with Minneapolis’ Historic Mill District.
To achieve that historic look, careful selection of the brick, steel, and windows was crucial. Though the initial inclination was to build the envelope with hand laid brickwork, schedule challenges dictated using precast concrete with thin brick. The tumbled rough edge Belden brick was the perfect match that met the design intent, and the façade was detailed with meticulous consideration to hide control joints and define precast concrete panel and window sizing. Multiple options for mortar color, texture and mix were considered to achieve the desired aesthetic, along with experimenting with different liner options and brick wash to balance the desired vintage look of the building’s façade.
All original cornices and moldings were detailed and incorporated within the precast concrete panels. Caulking colors varied between horizontal and vertical joints to provide an authentic look and minimize joint perception. The precast concrete joints in the arches are barely discernible to the naked eye. Precast concrete panel ties and connections were carefully designed to allow for the exposed structural concept of the interior.
