Four Xcel Energy Facilities: Powered by Kalwall

We truly enjoyed working with HCM Architects (Minneapolis), TKDA Architects (Bloomington), Knutson Construction (Minneapolis), and McGough (St. Paul), who brought four new Xcel Energy service facilities — in Chanhassen, Onalaska (WI), St. Cloud, and St. Paul–Maplewood. We helped bring their design visions to life with Kalwall’s advanced translucent daylighting systems, which elevate energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and thermal performance.

HCM, TDKA, Knutson, and McGough recognize Kalwall's distinct advantages in both design and performance, and we were proud to help bring their innovative visions to life.

The new facilities will bring together office space, warehousing, indoor vehicle storage, fleet maintenance, and more—creating an efficient, all-in-one operations hub that supports their remarkable teams and keeps our power grid strong and reliable.

Xcel Energy’s new service facilities have benefited from Kalwall’s translucent, insulated panels, which deliver museum-quality daylighting™—diffusing light evenly while eliminating glare, yellowing, and visual hot spots often seen with polycarbonate systems. The result is a bright, balanced, and comfortable interior light that enhances occupant well-being and productivity, helping operations run smoothly and efficiently.
