With funding from Target and RSP Architects, the
MDC studied the Minneapolis Post Office and its site as the basis for future reuse.
Based on that initial research, MDC research fellow, Tim Griffin and RSP
partner, Rich Varda, led a studio of 12 graduate students, who looked at a
range of ideas for reusing the building, reimagining the site, and reconnecting
downtown Minneapolis to the Mississippi River. Their work, along with a 3D
printed model of the area, went on display in the IDS Crystal Court on April 2,
2018, and conversations about the reuse of the building continue. Tom Fisher
