Minneapolis became infamous in 2020 when officer Derek Chauvin asphyxiated George Floyd on a city street, a murder that triggered global protests against police brutality. Some of the first happened in downtown Minneapolis’s Government Plaza, next to the city’s now completed new Public Service Building (PSB), designed by the New York office of the Danish practice Henning Larsen, in collaboration with the Minneapolis firm MSR Design. The city and its design team conceived of PSB prior to the protests—and the pandemic. But the building seems perfectly timed for this moment in Minneapolis’s history, as the city resets its relationship with the community, with a facility that transforms how local government staff interact with residents and businesses.
