The office then relocated to Hector Airport in Fargo North Dakota in 1934 and renamed to the National Weather Service in 1970. In November 1994, the new modernized office building was completed on the west side of Grand Forks and began operations in the new facility and as part of the agency’s nationwide modernization effort.

Wells retired from active practice in about 1964 and Denbrook associated briefly with Edward Adams at about that time. This context focuses on North Dakota work designed by the firm of Theodore B. Wells and later as Wells-Denbrook, from the firm’s inception until Wells, Denbrook, Adams, Wagner Architects merged to form EAPC (engineers and architects) in 1978. Required components of the context study: 1. Context narrative 2. Research methodology for review of archival resources 3. Research methodology for evaluating extant buildings on-site 4. Criteria for evaluating a property’s merit for future inclusion in the National Register 5.

  • Feasibility Analysis of an Expanded Bismarck Civic Center
    DRAFT COPY For Discussion Purposes Feasibility Analysis of an Expanded Bismarck Civic Center Presented to the: City o f Bismarc k / Bismarc k Ci v ic Center August 13, 2008 DRAFT COPY For Discussion Purposes Only August 13, 2008 Mr. Charlie Jeske General Manager Bismarck Civic Center 315 South 5th Street Bismarck, North Dakota 58504 Dear Mr. Jeske: Conventions, Sports & Leisure (“CSL”) has completed a draft report related to a feasibility study of an expanded Bismarck Civic Center (“Center”). The attached report presents our research, analysis and findings and is intended to assist the City of Bismarck (“City”) in evaluating the viability of Center expansion/improvement. The analysis presented in this report is based on estimates, assumptions and other information developed from industry research, data provided by the City and Center, surveys of potential facility users, discussions with industry participants and analysis of competitive/comparable facilities and communities. The sources of information, the methods employed, and the basis of significant estimates and assumptions are stated in this report. Some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Therefore, actual results achieved will vary from those described and the variations may be material. The findings presented herein are based on analysis of present and near-term conditions in the Bismarck area as well as existing interest levels by an expanded Center’s potential base of users and latent demand characteristics. Any significant future changes in the characteristics of the local community, such as growth in population, corporate inventory, competitive inventory and visitor amenities/attractions, could materially impact the key market conclusions developed as a part of this study.
