Bloomington Civic Plaza
Bloomington, MN

Completed on time and under budget, Bloomington Civic Plaza is a distinctive, welcoming facility that reflects the community. With Bloomington’s motto “built from savings, dedicated to service” as its guide, the multi-purpose plaza opened its doors to the community in July 2003. The Plaza includes Bloomington City Hall, Bloomington Police Facility, and the Bloomington Center for the Arts, creating a civic campus setting for efficient delivery of city services.

Sustainability was a key aspect of the design of the Plaza. AKA and our consultants completed the Energy Design Assistance program to identify building systems that reduce energy consumption and operational costs by maximizing equipment efficiencies, utilizing daylighting, and improving indoor air quality. The site was also designed to include storm water management as an amenity.
