Project Understanding
COMMUNITY CENTERED PROJECTS
It is imperative that the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Museum and
Cultural Center provide a coherent, understandable and exciting
architectural experience to the community. The planning
process itself presents a significant opportunity to reach out to
various audiences, achieve greater visibility, and become more
welcoming.
Effective design can accentuate the experience of arrival. The
museum experience starts for visitors as they approach either
by car or foot. Therefore, space planning must take into account
signage, wayfinding, and the visitor’s experience from the car to
the museum’s entry. A strong arrival experience can enhance a
viewers’ appreciation of the exhibits, surrounding grounds and

charmed with this facility. It’s everything Relevant Projects
they dreamed of—and a little more.” College of St. Benedict
Benedicta Arts Center Expansion
ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA
— Sr. Coleman O’Connell
Senior Development Officer / Former President
College of St. Benedict
The Benedicta Arts Center Expansion has provided much-
needed rehearsal and performance space that has enabled the
Fine Arts Program to confirm its standing as a leading regional
arts program. Harmonious yet distinct from the original
facility (also designed by HGA), the expansion strengthens the
experience of campus arrival by giving more definition to the
main academic Mall.
Since its completion in 1964, the Benedicta Arts Center (BAC)
has become the premier performing arts center in central
Minnesota. The facility’s 1,000-seat auditorium and 300-seat
theater reverberate with acoustical precision, while the building
itself stands as a modernist campus icon. HGA’s original design,
drawing on The Rule of Saint Benedict, reflects monastic
architectural tradition in its use of cloisters or courtyards as a
unifying devise. BAC’s restrained and dignified persona focuses
inward to emphasize the charged energy between audience and
performer.
The Fine Arts Program’s on-going growth since BAC’s
completion led to a predictable struggle for rehearsal and
performance space between the burgeoning Theater, Music and
Dance departments.
HGA addressed that struggle by designing a new state-of-the-
art facility that includes:
• Music Practice Rooms
• Faculty Studios
• Band Rehearsal
• Small Ensemble Rehearsal
• Black-Box Theatre
• Dance Studio
• Outdoor Amphitheater
• Expanded Lobby and Ticket Office
KEY FEATURES
• Anodized aluminum panels complement original brick.
• Interior spaces open to campus.
• Glass corridor ushers light into lower level.
