Life is busy for Jolene Chlebeck. She works full-time as anadministrative assistant in the W ells Fargo W ealthManagement Group located in Wells Fargo Place, and is amother to two small children and an avid runner.

“Before the downtown Lifetime Fitness closed last August,”says Jolene. “I used to drive in early to run before work atleast three times a week. It was great because I would missthe heavy morning traffic.” When she couldn’t run beforework, Jolene often headed to Lifetime during her lunchbreak. But when that facility closed, Jolene missed theavailability and convenience of it.

“By the end of the day, I’m too tired to work out or I’ve gotother responsibilities,” she says. That’ s why she’s lookingforward to the new Wells Fargo Place Fitness Center, whichwill be available for tenant use on July 12, 2011.

“There are a number of runners here at Wells Fargo,” saysJolene. “We have a strong focus on fitness and healthwithin the group.” According to Jolene, they are all excitedfor the opportunity to take a break during the work day to

fit in their exercise.“Running along theriver or working outin the gym is such astress reliever. It alsohelps just to get thatmental break.”

For Jolene and others like her, the new fitness center will bea welcome addition to WFP. Read about the fitness centeron page 3.

Have you seen them? Men and women wearing brightlycolored vests, safety glasses and hard hats are plying theirtrades in the street, in the atrium, in the tower, on the roofor in the Town Square Parking Ramp. W ith all of thisactivity, I thought the overriding theme for most of whathas been keeping our building management staff busy thissummer is construction! Whether we are planning for it,planning around it or facilitating it, there have been veryfew slow moments.

As you know, for the last several years we have preparedfor the commencement of “the real work” on the newCentral Corridor Light Rail Transit Line from St. Paul toMinneapolis. WFP and our tenants are most affected by theconstruction on Cedar Street and that work began inearnest the first week of June.

Construction inside the building is related to recentsuccesses on the leasing front and the creation of our newfitness center. To help provide some perspective, about100,000 square feet—or 1/6th of the building’s total squarefootage—is under construction to accommodate new andrenewing tenants.

In addition, the fitness center is nearing the end of itsconstruction and will be open for use by employees ofbuilding tenants and subtenants beginning on July 12. Thefitness center is a much anticipated tenant amenity and welook forward to seeing you at the Fitness Center GrandOpening and Health Fair on July11. Y ou can read aboutthe new fitness center and the festivities surrounding itsopening on pages 1 and 3.

Construction inside the building should be mostly finishedup by late summer . LRT construction will be with usthrough the 2011 and 2012 construction seasons. Once thedust settles—no pun intended—we will have a great newfitness center at our disposal, improved transit to and fromthe building, and even more tenants in the building toshare it all with!

When we have a free moment, we continue to exploreadditional green initiatives including some we are currentlytest piloting and expect to roll out in the near future. Moreon that in future WFP Link editions.

I wish you a great summer and as always, encourage anyoneto contact the Office of the Building with questions, needsor suggestions.

He doesn’t look like or act the part of the “man behind thecurtain” from the W izard of Oz, but Rick Schorn isintricately involved in behind the scene activities that keepWells Fargo Place running smoothly day-in and day-out.Rick is the Unilev Chief Engineer for WFP, a position he’shad for the last 12 years—Rick’s been a building engineerfor 23 years—and in which he is responsible for HV AC,fire safety, and construction in the building.

From converting the building’s cooling system to an offsitechilled water source to tenant relocation construction andensuring the building is energy efficient and comfortablefor tenants, Rick has a hand in it all. Sounds like a big job.“It is a big job,” says Rick. “I’ve got a great staff. W e workwell together and what we are able to accomplish at WFPis because of my staff.”

Rick and his staff of two engineers and two repairtechnicians play an important role in maintaining WFP’ sClass A building status. Some of the noteworthy projectsthat have been under Rick’s watchful eye include the three-year project of converting the building to offsite chilledwater source, now managed by District Energy of St. Paul.Conversion involved laying new pipes to District Energystorage tanks, dismantling all of the old pipes, capping on-site wells, removing one mechanical chiller, and testing thenew pipes to ensure the cleanliness of the circulating water.

Rick and his team are also an important part of WFPearning the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)Energy Star® rating—a recognition that signifies a

building’s energy performancerates in the top 25% of commercial facilitiesnationwide. WFP earned arating of 92 on a scale of 1 to100. Energy Star buildings usean average of 35% less energy than typical buildings andrelease 35% less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Most recently, Rick has been overseeing a number ofconstruction projects in the building. “On seven differentfloors, there are 10 areas in the building underconstruction,” says Rick. “That includes getting ready forour newest tenant AgriBank and the new fitness centerconstruction.”

What does Rick do when he’ s not overseeing that WFPmeets building code, stays energy efficient, and is a safe,secure and comfortable building for tenants?

“I’m a dedicated traditional bow hunter,” says Rick. “I onlyuse a recurve bow.” A recurve bow has tips that curve awayfrom the archer. In Minnesota Rick hunts white tail deerand turkeys. “When I can get the ‘coinage’ I’d like to huntelk in Montana and Wyoming.”

The last of Rick’s three kids graduated from college thisspring, so he just might be planning that trip soon. If yousee him, you can ask him about that yourself. He doesn’ thide like the “man behind the curtain” did, but he is a busyguy.
