Imagination Center at Reindahl Park

Jan. 09, 2023
The Imagination Center is midway through the Schematic Design phase with an expected phase completion in March 2023. Stakeholders are finalizing decisions on the overall floor plan layout and also determining the Imagination Center's building massing, materiality, building operations, and interior design intent. Upon completion of Schematic Design, the project will enter the Design Development phase, where the design intent is further refined in preparation for the Construction Documentation phase. Follow project updates.
