Every year, Finance & Commerce awards Minnesota’s top construction projects. And this year, it selected the LifeSource headquarters project as a Top Project. Dunham designed the mechanical and electrical systems for the company’s new River Road headquarters northwest of downtown Minneapolis—a new 50,000 SF facility that houses 125 corporate staff members; features a large lobby, conference rooms, break rooms, quiet rooms and kitchenettes, as well as outdoor spaces to work and relax; and includes a large operating room, morgue, recovery and storage space. A signature piece of the headquarters is the LifeSource Healing Garden, which offers beautiful views of the Mississippi River and gives families and employees a place to reflect and remember.
