Architect: Meyer, Scherer and Rockcastle, Ltd.

The Challenge: Take a run-down building that's over 100 years old, mix in the dreams of three notable literary organizations to own their own space, add the vision of one of Minneapolis' leading architectural firms and complete the transformation with a specific budget and limited time frame.

The Olson Solution: Olson became involved early on in testing the various building and design goals for compatibility with budget objectives. They offered alternative ideas and solutions to keep project on track and managed the project in a manner which accomplished the collective objectives.
