The Minnesota Department of Transportation enlisted TSP to take a 25,000-square-foot antiquated 1960s building and expand it to a 55,000-sf facility that is safe, functional, and ready to serve the state well into the future.

Project highlights include updated office space for the Construction Division with improved public meeting spaces.

For the MnDOT Maintenance Division, vehicle storage, maintenance bays, wash bays, locker rooms, and support areas were expanded to provide for the needs of a modern truck station facility.

Lastly, the project delivered an adequately sized office and repair bays for the Bridge Crew Division.

The project team successfully navigated multiple challenges at the site, including accommodating the expansion, ensuring safe vehicle circulation, and addressing contamination concerns affecting stormwater into nearby Nine Mile Creek.

Throughout a multi-year process, the TSP team demonstrated patience, persistence, and adaptability in working through evolving budget and funding cycles, managing cost escalation, and coordinating across agencies and stakeholders. This collaborative approach helped guide the project from concept to completion, delivering a facility that will support MnDOT’s operational needs for years to come.
