Architect of Record: Principal Architect Quinn Hutson,AIA,LLED AP Mr. Hutson briefly presented the exterior image concept perspectives. Discussion included choices proposed for exterior materials; screening of the tower portion of the building from public view; and vertical elements suggested to break up the building's geometry and separation of functions. Councilmember McGehee wanted the City Council to understand her earlier comments on sustainability, and the other options she suggested. While not di- rectly a part of this presentation, Councilmember McGehee reiterated her interest in a higher level of sustainability; and asked that the City Council keep in mind what that ultimately meant. Councilmember McGehee opined that this was a very attractive building that would tie in nicely with other buildings on the City Hall campus. However, regarding the training portion of the building, Councilmember McGehee opined that the building itself was bigger than needed; and made com- parisons to the City of St. Louis Park's fire station, number of fire staff, and their space consolidated to 35,000 square feet.
