RENOVATION PROJEC

PROJECT FORMATION: 1988-1989
� In December 1988 after ears of discussion, Ramse Coun and the City of Saint
, � Y Y tY
Paul entered into a Joint Powers Agreement for tl�e renovation of the Saint Paul City
, Ha1URamsey County Court House (CH/CI�. The City Ha1UCourt House, constructed
in 1931-32, was an Art Deco landmark that needed modernization to preserve its
, serviceability. The Joint Powers Agreement created a CH/CH Renovation
Committee, made up of elected off'icials from the City, the County and the Second
Judicial District, to provide adlninistrative and fiscal oversight for the Project.
�
Through a creative financing proposal authored by Commissioner Warren Schaber,
, the City of Saint Paul conveyed to the County its real property interests in the Work-
house, Boys' Totem Town, Lake Owasso Residence, Woodview Detention Center
� and Saint Paul Ramsey Medical Center, as the City's share of the cost to renovate the
CH/CH. In 1989, Ramsey County sold $48,800,000.00 in Capital Improvement
Bonds to finance the entire Project.
, r A m nt established a Pro'ect Mana ement Team consistin of
The Jomt Powe s gree e � g , g
, a Project Director and representatives from the City, the County and the Courts to
handle the daily planning, construction coordination and Project management.
, During the initial phase of design work, a needs assessment and functional analysis
were performed by the Wold Association, an architectural firm. Through interviews
, with staff, the architect identified functional relationships among twenty-two City,
County and Courts offices and departments, and projected their needs through the
year 2005. Since the replacement of many of the building systems was a priority of
' the renovation, the architect also performed an extensive building analysis.
� CONSTRUCTION: 1990- 1993
� In February 1990, the Wold Association was selected as the Project Architect.
Through alliances with various experts and professionals, the Project Architect
� formed a Project Team to respond to die complexities of the Project in the areas of
� 11
i
historical preservatinn and restoration, courtroom design, telecommunications, ,
engineering, and interior design and furnishings. The fact that the building was to
remain occupied during the entire Project further complicated planning. �
Construction on the Project commenced with an addition to the CH/CH at the '
northwest corner of the block, to complete the original three tiered, or wedding cake,
design of the building. The James Steele Construction Company began the �
excavation for the addition in April 1991, and the shell was substantially completed in
December, 1991. The renovation of the existing building and the construction of the
addition interior were done by PCL Construction Services, Inc., begirming in ,
November of 1991.
Beginning in November 1992 and throughout 1993, as City, County and Court offices �
and departments began to take permanent occupancy of their new and renovated
spaces, the work of construction proceeded throughout the building. No person in the �
building— visitor or employee — could escape the sights and sounds of the
remaking of the CH/CH. �
�
A TIME TO CELEBRATE
,
On December 3, 1993, a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place to officially recognize
the completion of the City HalUCourt House. The City of Saint Paul, the County of ,
Ramsey an d t he Secon d Ju dicia l District sponsore d a Gran d Reopening an d Open
House over the following two days to share with the community the historical '
restoration, improved functionality and technological improvements of the building.
Thousands of people toured the building during the Open House and saw firsthand the
transformation of a treaswed landmark for the City of Saint Paul and Ramsey County. �

The approved design includes 10 - ,
floors of courtrooms — two more � �
than now—but only one additional
courtroom. That is the result of a
somewhal controversial plan to re-
ducc the numb'cr of courtrooms per � �
Iloor from tour to three. Some ar-
chitectural critics opposed the
move because it eliminates histori-
cal courtrooms, some with rare �
woods. But it provides space for
needed client-attorney consultation
, rooms, and secure hallways and
prisoner-holding areas. �
The committee also voted to re-
tain the traditional�press room in
its current .location next to the
council chambers, despite at- , '
tempts by Cily Council members to
acquire it for their purposes. '
Judge Lawrence Cohen, a for-
mer mayor, observed that "one of ,

person wouid have to testify from ground level, and
not have the authority of able bodied witnesses who �
speak from the elevated witness stand."
Cox cxpl�ined the courtroom has different
levels. "The judge's bench, thc witncss�stand, the �
jury box, and the clerk's desk are all at differcnt
heights," he said. "This is done to represent their
relative authority within the court room." He �
estimated it would cost abou� $2 million if all 25
court rooms were to be made totally accessible. '
ln January the City Hall and Court House �
Committee took the first step in its renovation
project when it approved preliminary construction
of the three story addition on the west side of the �
building. This construction is limited to the shell
of the buiiding, a part that�would not be affected

� Subject: City Ha1UCourt House Renovation Final Report
The City HalUCourt House Renovation Committee is proud to submit, for your acceptance,
� the Final Report on the City Hall/Court House Renovation Project. The primary goals of
the Project were to preserve the historical integrity of the building; to modernize the
� building systems to serve the expanding functional needs of the public and our community
for years to come; and, finally, to achieve these ends in the most efficient and cost-effective
manner. This report itemizes the achievements of the many Project participants in
� fulfillment of these goals. It includes a summary history and a fmancial accounting of the
Project. Finally, highlighted with reports from the media, it provides a pictorial summary
of the progress and accomplishments of the Project.
� The blue rint for mana in this Pro'ect was established durin the ori inal construction of
P � g J g g
the City HalUCourt House in 1930 when, in the spirit of cooperative effort for the benefit
� of all, a building committee comprised of representatives of the City of Saint Paul, the
County of Ramsey, and the Second Judicial District was established. The City HalUCourt
� House Renovation Committee was established with the same multi-government
composition and in the same spirit of cooperation.
� Fortunately, during this period, the Committee enjoyed the support, understanding and
encouragement of the public and the employees working in the building. The pages of this
report will reflect the unwavering resolution of the participants, their commitment to work
� together for the benefit of all, and their dedication to the fulfillment of the ambitious
objectives of the Project. Achieving the Project goals required countless decisions, many
of them difficult, on issues ranging fi•om the finish of the mirrored ceiling tiles in Memorial
� 1
�
Hall to the impact of department locarions on elevator traffic. It was during negotiations on �
these concerns that the commitment of all the participants to the greater good of the
community was most severely tested. This commitment, which came from the hearts and �
minds of all who participated on the Project, enabled them to put aside philosophical and
political differences and their conflicring prioriries, and to overcome the occasional
misunderstanding. �
No one better demonstrated this commitment of heart and mind to the greater good of the �
community than the late Commissioner Warren Schaber. Because of his ability to regard
each question from all possible perspectives in building a consensus, and his unwavering
resolve to complete the Project, the CH/CH Renovarion Committee has dedicated this Final �
Report to Commissioner Warren Schaber.
Sincerely, �

RENOVATION PROJECT HISTORY: AN OVERVIEW
1
1
PROJECT FORMATION: 1988-1989
' In December 1988 after ears of discussion Ramse Coun and the Ci of Saint
> > Y � Y tY tY
Paul entered into a Joint Powers Agreement for the renovation of the Saint Paul City
, Ha1URamsey County Court House (CH/CI�. The City Ha1UCourt House, constructed
in 1931-32, was an Art Deco landmark that needed modernization to preserve its
' serviceability. The Joint Powers Agreement created a CH/CH Renovation
Committee, made up of elected officials from the City, the County and the Second
, Judicial District, to provide administrative and fiscal oversight for the Project.
Through a creative financing proposal authored by Commissioner Warren Schaber,
' the City of Saint Paul conveyed to the County its real property interests in the Work-
house, Boys' Totem Town, Lake Owasso Residence, Woodview Detenrion Center
, and Saint Paul Ramsey Medical Center, as the City's share of the cost to renovate the
CH/CH. In 1989, Ramsey County sold $48,800,000.00 in Capital Improvement
Bonds to finance the entire Project.
�
The Joint Powers Agreement established a Project Management Team, consisting of
' a Project Director and representatives from the City, the County and the Courts to
handle the daily planning, construction coordination and Project management.
, During the initial phase of design work, a needs assessment and functional analysis
were performed by the Wold Association, an architectural firm. Through interviews
, with staff, the architect identified functional relationships among twenty-two City,
County and Courts oi�'ices and departments, and projected their needs through the
year 2005. Since the replacement of many of the building systems was a priority of
, the renovation, the architect also performed an extensive building analysis.
, CONSTRUCTION: 1990- 1993
, . In February 1990, the Wold Association was selected as the Project Architect.
Through alliances with various experts and professionals, the Project Architect
, formed a Project Team to respond to the complexities of the Project in the areas of
� 11
'
historical reservati�n and restoration, courtroom desi telecommunications �
P �, ,
engineering, and interior design and furnishings. The fact that the building was to '
remain occupied during the entire Project further complicated planning.
Construction on the Project commenced with an addition to the CH/CH at the '
northwest comer of the block, to complete the original three tiered, or wedding cake,
design of the building. The James Steele Construction Company began the ,
excavation for the addition in April 1991, and the shell was substantially completed in
December, 1991. The renovation of the existing building and the construction of the
addition interior were done by PCL Construction Services, Inc., beginning in ,
November of 1991.
Begiruiing in November 1992 and throughout 1993, as City, County and Court offices ,
and departments began to take permanent occupancy of their new and renovated
spaces, the work of construction proceeded throughout the building. No person in the '
building— visitor or employee — could escape the sights and sounds of the
remaking of the CH/CH. ,
. '
A TIME TO CELEBRATE
�
On December 3, 1993, a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place to of�'icially recognize
the completion of the City Ha1UCourt House. The City of Saint Paul, the County of '
Ramsey an d t he Secon d Ju dicia l District sponsored a Grand Reopening and Open
House over the following two days to share with the community the historical �
restoration, improved functionality and technological improvements of the building.
Thousands of people toured the building during the Open House and saw firsthand the
transformation of a treasured landmark for the City of Saint Paul and Ramsey County. �

The approved design includes 10 ,
floors of courtrooms — two more �
� than now=but only one additional
courtroom. That is the result of a
�somewhat controversial plan to r�
� ducc the number of courtrooms per �
floor from four to three. Some ar-
chitectural critics opposed the
move because it eliminates histqri-
� cal courtrooms, some with rare
woods. But it provides space for
needed client-attorney consultation
, rooms, and secure hallways and
prisoner-holding areas.
� The committee also voted to re-
tain the traditional�press room in
its current .location next to the
� council chambers, despite at- ,
tempts by City Council members to
acquire it for their purposes.
Judge Lawrence Cohen, a for-
� mer mayor, observed that "one of
the most historical aspects of this
building is those (news) guys peek-

person would have to testify from ground level, and
not have the authority of able bodied witnesses who
� speak from the elevated witness stand."
Cox explained the courtroom has different
levels. "7"he judge's bench, thc witncss�stand, the
� jury box, and the clerk's desk are all at differcnt
heights," he said. "This is done to represent their
relative authority within the court room." He
� estimated it would cost abou� $2 million if all 25
court rooms were to be made totally accessible.

of the buiiding, a part that�would not be affected
