Public Comments to the Concept Design for Revitalized Peavey Plaza
Project Scope: oslund.and.associates is responsible for designing for the revitalization of Peavey Plaza from programming through construction administration. The City and the Minnesota Orchestra planned a two-phase design effort:
- Phase I: Programming, concept design, and budget development. This phase will include meetings with the community engagement committee as required to gather input and develop the program. Phase 1 will not exceed $250,000.
- Phase II: Schematic design through construction administration. Total landscape architecture services of Phases 1 and 2 will not exceed 12% of the total cost of the project.
