Summer MH Employee Party
Last Friday many of the MH employees and their families were able to get together and enjoy a beautiful day at Centennial Lakes in Edina. We played croquet, lawn bowling and eventually headed over to Pinstripes for some food and bowling. Everyone who was able to attend had a wonderful time. Thank you to Mark and Todd for not only coming out and partaking in the activities, but also for providing the time and money for these enjoyable events. In all, 28 people made it out for the Croquet/Lawn Bowling and 35 people attended Dinner/Bowling portion.

Prairie View Care Center
On the western edge of Woonsocket, SD (population 634) sits Prairie View Care Center (PVCC). The enitire western edge of the property is adjacent to an expansive crop field...quite appropriate considering that many of the residents there have very close ties to farming. The buidling is due for an upgrade and much needed expansion, and with the help of Dave Link from SourceGroup, we have helped guide them to the most appropriate and cost effective design solution. Earlier this week the PVCC Board approved the team to move forward with the documentation and construction of Phase 1. This project will include the following:

| Paul J. Carr (Architect) |
We are proud to announce that Paul Carr has officially passed the Architecture Registration Exam and is on the doorstep of becoming a Registered Architect in State of Minnesota. The ARE is considered by experts to be one of the most difficult professional examinations in the country and is composed of 7 separate exams that involve all aspects of architectural design. The difficulty of the exam is proven by the published pass rates, some of which are as low as 49%.
Paul has been working at Mohagen/Hansen for 17 loyal years, and is considered by many to be an expert in the areas of corporate tenant improvement projects, BOMA calculations, and business development. Paul is most proud of the many close relationships he has developed within the commercial real estate field. His long list of repeat clients is testament to his knowledge in his field.

NAIOP Golf Tournament
Once again the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) Minnesota chapter did an extremely good job planning the event which had a full registration of 144 golfers. Our sponsorship site was located near the beautiful 17th green, where we served as a sponsor, greeting golfers with a rousing game of Yahtzee, offering golf trinkets to each player, as well as entering the winners into a drawing for Twins Tickets. Despite the heat, each player was having a great time and we especially enjoyed the camaraderie as we endured the weather together. The Wilds also did an excellent job of keeping golfers cool by passing out cold, wet cloths and periodically checking on each of the sponsoring firms.
We really appreciate the face to face time we receive by sponsoring this event and look forward to sponsoring it again next year!

2010 Top Projects Award
On Thursday, July 14 Mohagen/Hansen Architectural Group was recognized for a recent design project at the 2010 Top Projects Award Reception held by Finance & Commerce Magazine. The event, which took place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Minneapolis, recognized what were judged to be the top 24 design and construction projects to have been completed in 2010.
The Edina Crosstown Medical Office Building in Edina which was designed solely for Twin Cities Orthopedics, P.A. was selected not only for its design excellence, but for the process it went through to become a reality. ![]()
There were many hurdles to overcome with the City of Edina in order to make this a viable project for the challenging site it was to inhabit. The project demanded an interactive, consensus driven process which resulted in creative solutions that required compromise and flexibility on the part of everyone. The final product is evidence of a successful collaboration. The building received LEED Gold Certification as well.
