Lindbergh Light Rail Transit (LRT) Station, Minneapolis, MN.
Location:
Minneapolis, MN
Owner:
Metropolitan Airports
Commission
Designer:
HGA
Contractor:
Obayashi/Johnson Bros.,
a joint venture
Area:
53,000 square feet
Project Type:
Airport terminal subway
station
The station's design was
created to extend the main terminal's
architecture and materials. A sculptural
system of curvilinear ceiling
panels evokes images of flight and
movement.
The project used smooth-faced
corbelled precast concrete wall
panels along with architectural wall
panels in varying heights, as well as
solid roof panels.
All of the panels were arched with
an approximate 50-foot radius. Due
to the varying heights, a custom
arched wall-panel form was created
with a formliner that created the
limestone appearance for the panels.
