Tate Hall (Tate Hall) Renovation Minneapolis, MN April 2019, Minneapolis, MN Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) B3 Guidelines Caren S. Martin, PhD Abimbola Asojo, PhD (contact: [email protected]) ([email protected]) Martin & Guerin Design Research, LLC Suyeon Bae, PhD Minneapolis, MN College of Design University of Minnesota 1.0 Overview The purpose of this report is to examine the connection between sustainable design criteria used in the design of the UMTC John T. Tate Hall (Tate Hall) facility and occupants’ satisfaction with their classroom environments located in this building. The Tate Hall facility renovation was designed using the 2009 B3 Guidelines (formerly known as the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines or MSBG), which were in effect at the time that the new facility was completed for occupancy in August 2017. The B3 Guidelines track specific state-funded, B3 buildings as a means of demonstrating real outcomes aimed at the conservation of energy resources, creation and maintenance of healthy environments, and occupants’ satisfaction with their environments. The Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) was developed to assess human outcomes in workplace, classroom, and residence hall settings in compliance with the B3 Guidelines project tracking requirements. This is a report of occupants’ (hereafter called students) responses at 14 months post-occupancy. The survey was conducted in late-October through early-November 2018. This SPOES report focuses on students’ satisfaction with the physical environment as related to 23 indoor environmental quality (IEQ) criteria such as lighting, thermal, and acoustic conditions in their primary classrooms.

JS: There had been no advertising on radio before that, and I can remember--I was actually singing a jingle to myself in the car coming downCharles from home this morning. I think it was the first radio commercial that I can remember, thoughSociety maybe not the first one I've heard. We had one of these Philco radio sets that was called the cathedral type, it looks like a stained-glass window or a gothic arch.with The jingle was, "Won't you try Wheaties, the best breakfast food in the land. Won't you try Wheaties, Skippy never tires of them and neither will you, so just try Wheaties." That was new territory in sales, in advertising.

The exhibition runs through June 21, 2009. The public is invited to meet the artist at an opening reception from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 17 at the Weisman. The exhibition is the result of a three-year collaboration between artist Eduardo Kac and University of Minnesota scien- tist Neil Olszewski. Kac and Olszewski have created and propagated a new life form—a transgenic petunia—by fusing proteins from both a plant and from Kac himself. Kac’s DNA is expressed only in the flower’s red veins. The Weisman exhibition features the transgenic plant and prints based on the seeds produced for the project. As part of the project, the University of Minnesota commissioned Kac to create a large, three-dimensional fiberglass and steel sculpture based on a protein from the plant. Starting April 17, the sculpture will be on permanent view outside the University’s new Cargill Center for Microbial and Plant Genomics (1500 Gortner Avenue on the University’s St.
