MIDWEST BUILDING 5

For Pam and Joe Mueller, build-ing a store in Baxter all beganwith a sketch on the back o a

napkin. The couple owns and operatesthe Excelsior, Minnesota-based boat andmarine equipment dealer MinnesotaInboard Water Sports. When theydecided to expand to a second locationin the all o 2005, they settled on theBrainerd Lakes Area, a popular boat-

ing and water sports region in NorthCentral Minnesota. The area is home toa large number o the company’s cus-tomers in the summer months when thepopulation o outdoor recreation enthu-siasts explodes.

As operators o a success ul busi-ness, the Muellers knew what theywanted and went looking or a build-ing in the area that would serve theirneeds. Un ortunately, they couldn’t nd

an existing structure that was right orthem, so they decided to start romscratch. They ound a suitable pieceo land, and on the a ternoon that theyclosed on the property, Pam and Joewent to lunch at a local restaurant to talkabout their plans.

Excitedly, Pam began drawing asketch o what they wanted their newbuilding to look like on the back o a

napkin. “I we didn’t have this business,I think I would be a designer becauseI love working with how things are laidout and the design o buildings — bothinside and out,” she said. The Muellershad some clear ideas about what theywanted to see in their new location, suchas a large stone replace in the mainshowroom. “I had in my mind exactlywhat I wanted, and I actually drew it ona napkin,” she said.

A ter lunch was over, Pam kept thenapkin and the couple went looking oran architect and builder to help themturn their second location into a reality.One o the rms they talked to was Kue-

pers Inc., Architects & Builders. The Muellers chose Kuepers or a

number o reasons, not the least o which was its ability to match its designswith what Pam had in her mind — andon her napkin. “I brought the napkin toKuepers and said this is what I want. Icame back a week or two later, and

Kuepers architecture plans were righton,” she said. “There was hardly any-thing we needed to change as ar as thedesign.”

As it turns out, Pam and Joe’sexperience matches up with the veryapproach with which Kuepers pridesitsel . “We have a philosophy at Kuep-ers that ‘we’re not the ones who live inthe building, our customers are,’” saidMark Cross, the architect at Kuepers

who designed the Mueller’s building. “Asa result, we don’t shoehorn projects intoa design style. We are custom builders,and with that in mind, we design what-ever ts the customer’s needs.”

The 7,211-square-foot building Kueperscreated or Minnesota Inboard neededto meet two key requirements simulta-neously: it needed a large showroomspace yet had to be easy to convert intoanother type o business should

“We created a hybrid

system, integrating post-and-beam construction

with a conventionalcontinuous concreteooting system, and that

really worked well.” -Mark Cross

op a K p gEnvironmental protection goes beyond just building ‘green’

Operating “green” whenever possible is as importantas building “green.” Kuepers continues to take stepsin its day-to-day unctions to maintain and promote

green operations. We recycle as much waste as possible in theo ce and on jobsites.Materials such ascardboard, oil, scrapmetal, and copperare always separated

rom the rest o con-struction waste on

jobsites or recycling.

Kuepers will recy-cle anything at the

request o the client; however, it may be at additional cost andtime. In the case o a demolition or remodels, a project has tobe taken apart piece by piece, dramatically slowing down thebuilding schedule.

There are many other ways that Kuepers prevents construc-tion waste

• Using durable products, such as stone and ceramic tile• Using building products made from recycled material• Using salvaged or reclaimed building materials• Minimizing the use of products with excessive packaging• Buying locally produced building materials, which reduces

energy use and transportation pollution• Protecting trees and topsoil during construction• Centralizing cutting operations to reduce waste and simplify

sorting• Educating our crews about recycling procedures

• Donating salvaged items to local organizations like Habitator Humanity

Kuepers continues to look or more economical ways to oper-ate green, rom purchasing recycled o ce supplies to providingproject managers with uel-e cient cars or driving to and rom

jobsites.

ta eExcellence in heating, cooling, and ventilating by Kuepers

The unpredictability o Minnesota weather won’t a ect yourcom ort level when you work or live in a building environ-ment with a heating and cooling system rom Kuepers

Inc., Architects and Builders. Our in-house mechanical expertsdesign heating, cooling, and ventilating systems (HVAC) with youryear-round com ort in mind.

There are many bene ts to having an in-house mechanicalteam. As a mechanical engineer I am involved early on in newconstruction and remodeling projects. I work alongside ourarchitects to ensure that each building’s climate and moisturecontrol needs are properly addressed. The sizing o equipment,

placement, and number o supplies and returns are all actoredinto the design. We install equipment known or optimal per or-mance, reliability, and energy e ciency.

Kuepers will learn your heating and cooling needs, assist youwith any challenges, and customize a mechanical system so itworks or you.

Types of Equipment/SystemsNumerous options are available at Kuepers:

Forced Air Furnaces — Multiple or single zone urnaces heatand circulate air through a ductwork system. They are rated

or energy e ciency by an Annual Fuel Utilization E ciency(AFUE) percentage. The higher the AFUE rating, the higher thesystem’s e ciency.In-foor Radiant Heat/Hot Water Boiler System — Wateris heated by a boiler through fexible tubing beneath the foor.Heat Recovery Ventilators — Today’s tighter buildings are

designed to improve energy e -ciency by eliminating heat lossaround doors, windows, and otherareas prone to dra ts. Without a heatrecovery ventilator (HRV), pollutantscan be trapped inside, creating poorindoor air quality. HRVs providebetter ventilation by bringing reshoutside air into the building whileexpelling stale polluted air. The coretrans ers heat rom the outgoing airto preheat the incoming resh air.Central Air Conditioning —Central air works with a urnaceor air handler to remove heat

rom indoor air. Cooled air is thentrans erred throughout the build-

ing through ductwork. The levelo energy e ciency is mea-sured by the Seasonal EnergyEf ciency Ratio (SEER). Theminimum SEER standard iscurrently 13.

When your HVAC system isdesigned by Kuepers, you can beassured that we have looked at thebig picture without overlooking thesmallest o details.

MIDWEST BUILDING 13

Tanner Companies in Brainerd renovated an existing autodealership or a new acility that would con orm to theHonda Dealership Image Program (HDIP). The theme of

Honda’s design philosophy was to “rede ne the Honda experi-ence” with the ollowing goals:

• Establish a consistent image where there was noconsistency.

• Create a customer-friendly environment where there wasapprehension.

• Enhance dealership ef ciency and capacity to prepare forthe uture.

• Create a unique shopping experience and inspire loyalty.

John Tanner was not convinced, however, that Honda’s proto-type HDIP blueprints would t with the needs o his employeesor customers. While Tanner was contemplating his options, he

learned that a major road construction project would be tak-ing place during his dealership construction. This would resultin road construction on three sides o the Tanner Honda prop-erty. Construction plans were put on hold until it was determinedhow much o the owner’s property would be lost to the roadconstruction as the Minnesota Department o Transportationand the City o Brainerd negotiated the right-o -way boundar-ies. The owner ultimately decided to take advantage o the roadconstruction and eliminate several older buildings on the prop-

erty and proceed with a new Honda building that would providebetter visibility and customer access.

According to Honda, “other than our great products, there isno clearer way to show o our quality than through our dealer-ship acilities.” It was evident, however, that the majority o the

HDIP prototypes were intended or larger markets and simplywould not t the owner’s property or operating methods. In thecar dealership business or 30-plus years, Tanner had speci cideas regarding the design, layout, and eatures he wanted incor-porated into the new building, which would be constructed as apre-engineered steel building. It was the goal o Kuepers’ archi-tectural sta to create a plan that would please both the ownerand Honda. The architectural sta received an HDIP manual toprovide them with design ideas and planning guidance. Essen-tial elements o the HDIP design included

• the entry cylinder with Honda “H” logo

• the Honda Wave, a curved edge canopy with upswing“smile” at the end

• curvilinear shapes to create a unique image and de ne func -tional spaces that fow easily to one another

• a color palette of speci ed colors for interior/exterior wallsand urnishings to complement the Honda Blue

• roadside signage designed for consistency in design, colorscheme, and curvilinear shape

• building signage with speci c guidelines for placementand fascia type/size. Patterns and materials used at

the building exterior were chosen to showcase the signageby providing a suitable backdrop highlighting the essentialimage elements

• service center placement near front of facility to give thesame degree o courtesy, respect, and pro essionalism tothe customers as demonstrated in sales areas

• showroom areas, reception, information center, kids’ playarea, vehicle displays, and sales consultation stationsdesigned to create an inviting, nonthreatening customerenvironment

The Kuepers’ architectural sta came up with a preliminarydesign or the pre-engineered steel building, tailoring the HDIPdesign elements with Tanner’s requirements. Negotiationsbetween Honda’s architect in Cali ornia, the owner, and Kuepers’architectural sta went back and orth until the parties involved

arrived at an agree able design.

Obstacles to OvercomeZoning — During the preliminary plan review process with the

city, it was discovered that the previous dealership did not havethe necessary zoning classi cation changes to the property.

The property was zoned industrial rather than commercial. As aresult, ormal rezoning process resulted in a one-month delay inthe start o the project.

Steel Crisis — Financial stri e in the chosen steel buildingsupplier’s company changed initial delivery time rom six to eight

weeks to more than 14 weeks. This instability o the company ledto a last-minute decision to nd another steel building supplierwho could ul ll the contract and meet the timetable. Design andengineering processes previously initiated with the rst companyhad to be repeated with the subsequent steel building supplier.

Site Work — One o the early goals was to complete theexterior concrete and base course o paving prior to winter.Be ore this could begin, extensive site work had to be accomplished.

An existing 50x100 pole building on the property was dismantledand donated to a local nonpro t group. Originally, the site had beenused as a concrete ready-mix plant (thus the industrial zoning), andone corner o the property had been used as a dumping ground orunused concrete — 2,907 cubic yards of concrete rubble had to beremoved rom the site. A ber optic line also had to be moved be oresite grading and building excavation could begin.

Construction Phase — Concrete work began in the all.

By the end o September, the storm sewer system was beinginstalled and underground rough-in utilities and infammablewaste system were under way. By October, the concrete slaband sidewalks were being poured. When the steel building con-tractor’s progress in setting the steel began to lag, it had toincrease the size o its crew to get back on schedule.

Rains and early snows also put the paving contractor behindschedule, but by the end o October, the base course o pavingwas placed. Landscaping crews were planting trees and shrubsat the perimeter o the parking lot. This gave the owner more

usable space or displaying car inventory during the remain-der o construction.

Changes to materials and design were implementedthroughout the project. The architectural sta was concernedthat decorative tiles speci ed or the exterior o the buildingcould pose a water penetration issue. Due to the fuctuatingweather o northern Minnesota, water penetration and reez-ing temperatures could cause the tiles to pop out o place.Plastic architectural panels in gray were substituted or thetiles. Routers were used to create grooves in the panels andthe grooves were lled with grout or a simulated tile e ect.Another concern was the design and structural support o the Honda Wave. Changing to a tubular steel construction willprevent snow rom accumulating on the canopy.

By midwinter, interior work was well under way. The proj-ect had been designed to meet Uni orm Building Codes, but

changes were required during construction when the Interna-tional Building Codes went into e ect.

Owner-requested changes were also made during con-struction to the service department area. The size o the oilstorage room was increased, and insulation was added to thewalls to reduce the noise o the air compressor. An oil and airdistribution system was also added to each service bay.

By early spring, the new state-o -the-art Honda dealershipwas substantially completed. The nal numbers or this cost-plus project were within less than 1 percent o the originalcost estimate.

Kuepers’architectural stacame up with adesign or the

tailoring the HDIPdesign elements with the owner’s

requirements until allparties arrived at anagreeable design.

B a Pa t aUncommon construction or theultimate movie-going experience

With a year-round populationof 285 residents, the smallcommunity o Hackensack,

Minnesota, and its surrounding areaswells to approximately 100,000 duringthe summer months and on weekendsyear-round as people fock to nearbycabins and resorts. A our-season touristdestination, the town boasts 127 lakes ina 10-mile radius, attracting shing, boat-ing, and snowmobile enthusiasts.

To take advantage o this populationexplosion in 2005, the Bear Pause The-

ater was built. The location o the theaterrequired extensive research. Choosingthe Hackensack area or its “Up North”atmosphere provided the opportunity orpermanent and seasonal residents aliketo enjoy the big screen without having todrive 45 to 60 miles. A ter choosing theHackensack community, the owners tooktheir research a step urther and askedthe Minnesota Department o Transporta-tion to per orm tra c counts to see how

many vehicles traveled the road goingpast the proposed building site.

The owners wanted to create a state-o -the-art theater, so they traveledthroughout the state visiting other the-aters and experiencing or themselves the

eatures they thought their patrons wouldenjoy. A great deal o planning went intothe Bear Pause Theater project by itsowners prior to the design and construc-tion o the building itsel . The owners’ goalwas to provide the ultimate movie-goingexperience in the region.

Site work began in August 2005 andinvolved bringing in 10,000 yards o ll.

Scheduling issues and setbacks were achallenge throughout the project. Froma bad shipment o concrete to weatherissues and delays, the project managerand oreman were busy juggling con-struction crews to meet the schedule.

Winter’s early snows and ice, ol-lowed by spring’s soupy mud mademaneuvering equipment tricky. Keep-ing the project moving orward wasadroitly handled by Kuepers’ ProjectManagement sta , who brought theproject to completion on schedule, with-in budget, and, most important, to thecustomers’ satis action.

A ter discussing di erent types o building construction, and with theowners’ overall budget in mind, pre-engi-neered steel construction was chosen.

Pre-engineered steel eliminated theload-bearing walls commonly associ-ated with theater designs, reducing theamount o unctional obsolescence i the building is converted to another usein the uture. As a money-saving alterna-

tive to the concrete block constructiontypically used or movie theaters, thepre-engineered steel building presentedits own set o unique challenges. Find-ing solutions to those challenges wasa challenge in itsel or Kuepers and the

theater equipment contractor becausethere were ew comparable pro-

jects in the Minnesota/Wisconsin area tolearn rom.

A major challenge was sound trans-mission. A combination o inventive andunique steps were taken to addressthis:

• Sand- lled concrete masonry wallsseparate common areas and theater

bays. An expansion joint allows ormovement o the steel building with-out adversely a ecting the stabilityo the block walls.

• All seams were sealed with a rubbermembrane.

• The building features a Simple SaverRoo System ®.

• Specialty sound control panels provide additional soundproo ng.

• There are two layers of gypsum board

on each side o the common walls.• The HVAC ductwork was insulated to

eliminate air rattles.

A decibel test was conducted to mea-sure sound transmission between theaterbays, proving these additional construc-tion techniques to be success ul.

The theater’s total seating capac-ity is 495 including a handicap seatingcapacity o 16. Although the size o thebuilding remained the same, the number

o theater bays was changed rom threeto our during the design phase. Sa etyconcerns related to the stadium seatingwere addressed by providing adequatelighting, handrails, and two exits to meethandicap accessibility requirements.

Décor inside and out was care ully coordinated with the interior designers at The Hearth Room,

a division o Kuepers.

The plat orm seating system was madeup o oam block with a metal edge orm-ing the plat orm risers. The size andcon guration o this plat orm-type seat-ing meant pumping the concrete in toeach theater rom the concrete truck,taking eight men to per orm the task.

Innovative Hitachi audio, digital,and video technology presents multi-purpose opportunities at Theater Bay1, including gaming tournaments, train-ing programs (currently utilized by theDepartment of Natural Resources), andlocal church services.

A VIP room with an individual soundsystem, two rows o stadium seating,

couches, a kitchenette, and restroomsor private groups overlooks Theater Bay

Décor inside and out was care ullycoordinated with the interior designers

at The Hearth Room, a division o Kuep-ers. Rustic “Up North” touches — stonewainscot, log and stone columns, logtrusses and trim — so ten the starkappearance o the steel at the building’s

ront acade.Interior walls eature warm v-joint pan-

eling and log accents. Reclaimed tinroo ng material used or the awningsabove the concession stand and ticketbooth areas adds an old-time camp

favor. A ter locating a supplier or theroo ng material, Kuepers personnel liter-ally dug the tin out rom beneath a snowbank, all the while wondering how theowners would react to the tin that had

rusted rom the moisture o the snow.Fortunately, it was exactly what theowners were looking or and no addi-tional aging or distressing techniqueswere needed.

A path leading rom the ticket booth tothe concession stand was ground intothe stained concrete fooring. Staineda darker color to resemble a well-worndirt trail, closer inspection reveals a seto bear tracks. The authentic bear trackswere created with a mold o the paws o

a real mounted bear owned by one o the theater owners.

Much attention was given to theproject by the community and localmedia. Excitement and anticipation builtalong with the construction progress.

The Grand Opening, held on March 31,2006, was a gala event as communitymembers, business leaders, and silverscreen ans eager or buckets o hot,buttery popcorn welcomed the new the-ater with open arms.

For Hackensack and surround-i n g c o m m u n i t i e s o n o r t h e r nMinnesota, moviegoers are able towatch frst-run flms in a state-o -the-art cinema theater without having todrive 45 to 60 miles out of the way.

Bear Pause Theater is a 144-foot-

by-90-foot building with four theaterscreens. The largest theater seats 189people, another 123 people, andthe two smaller theaters seat about90 people.

Bear Pause o ers many other ame-nities including a party room and a VIProom that can be rented or specialevents such as birthdays, anniversa-ries, Christmas parties, etc.
