A
team of graduate students from Kansas State University, University of
Missouri-Kansas City and the University of Kansas won a national Urban
Land Institute competition that judged development proposals for the
future district near the Minnesota Viking's stadium district.
The
team's plan, called "The Armory," proposed a development that would use
park space and redevelops the Minneapolis Armory as a flexible civic
meeting space and an indoor market.
The
proposal included graphics showing how the green space could be used,
with activities such as Tai Chi on the lawn, and it showed a new
multi-family housing in a new tower that would incorporate the Star
Tribune building facade.
The
Kansas team beat out 157 other entries, including three other finalists
from Yale University, Harvard University, and a joint team of Purdue
University and Ball State University. The winning team in the
competition wins $50,000 and each of the finalist teams receive $10,000.
