NorthPoint Center for Health and Wellness

Expansion and Renovation

Project Highlights

JE Dunn constructed two new building additions that expanded the NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center clinic in North Minneapolis by 60,000 square feet. A two-year phased renovation performed simultaneously provided all-new MEP infrastructure and finishes to the existing 70,000 square foot clinic. All construction work was performed while the clinic remained operational for medical, dental, vision, and pharmacy services for the local community.

One of the project initiatives by Hennepin County was to include diverse workforce goals of 32% minority and 20% female, along with a diverse group of project subcontractors of at least 26% SMBE and SWBE. JE Dunn partnered with TRI-Construction, a small Black-owned general contractor, to provide them with mentoring and experience on construction of a large, complex project. Additionally, we coordinated with KMS Construction, a Black-owned generator contractor hired directly by the Owner to do some of the interior finishes for the project.

A significant component of the project was to have the building be more sustainable for the future. Irrigation is fed from large underground storm water tanks that hold storm water from the site, and a separate water reclamation system collects water from the roof drains, cleans it, and uses it to flush toilets within the building. The existing facility also replaced its existing boilers, chiller, and generator with more efficient equipment. The new electrical gear is designed to receive solar power from panels that could be installed on the roof in the future if desired.
