CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 set of elements for us to work on and solve in a creative manner,” he said. It’s a collaborative process, Thies noted. Thies also noted that the Smiths were personally involved in all design meetings. “Very hands on, and certainly they were interested in the CRST leadership understanding the building and being excited about what will become home to their administrative group,” Thies said. The Smiths vetted physical models, 3-D analyses and even materials going into the project, Thies said. Dyan Smith, who acknowledged a passion for building design, said she had a clear vision for the final project. “Since it’s on the river, I wanted it to have sweeping views of the river,” she said. That would be fitting, since the city has had an intimate relationship with the Cedar River since its founding, she said. “I wanted lots of windows; I wanted the interior to be as open as possible so each tenant coming in could decide if they wanted open space or smaller spaces or offices,” she said. The new building has been a hive of activity throughout the building process, Gullickson said. “On a given day, there could be 200 people on-site working,” he said, noting that about 25 subcontractors were involved. Coordinating all that activity required “having a good quarterback,” Gullickson noted. “That is our job: Having a design partner that is committed to working with us is essential, and OPN has been terrific,” he said. “It is our job to manage the schedule and coordinate the effort.” That includes any unforeseen obstacles, Gullickson said. “Any job – and this project is certainly no exception – will have hiccups,” he said. “Knowing how to deal with the hiccups is essential. Everyone has to work together to make a project like this work.” n It’s always a pleasure to recognize the achievement of our clients. Proud to partner with you on your new building.
