AIA Minnesota Excellence in Design for Energy Award Lakewood Cemetery's Welcome Center
Blending Lakewood Cemetery’s timeless legacy with a vision for the future, the new Welcome Center is an all-electric, net-zero-energy landmark. Its sustainability is driven by an innovative geothermal system, rooftop solar power, integrated with high-efficiency glazing and building envelope systems.
We collaborated with Snow Kreilich Architects (Minneapolis), Miller Dunwiddie Architects (Minneapolis), and JE Dunn Construction (Minneapolis) to support our project partner's architectural expression and performance goals by integrating high-efficiency glazing and building envelope systems.
We're extremely proud to have contributed to this exceptional project—recognized with AIA Minnesota's prestigious Excellence in Design for Energy award—and honored to be part of a team that embodies innovation, craftsmanship, and environmental stewardship at the highest level.
Our team worked closely with our design and construction partners to bring their design to life, ensuring lasting quality, precise detailing, and visual harmony with Lakewood's timeless setting—helping create a building that honors the past while embracing a sustainable future.
