Nws hais ntxiv, "Cov qauv nyiaj txiag nyuaj yog ib qho ntawm ntau qhov haujlwm tsis muaj txiaj ntsig. Tab sis qhov zoo tshaj plaws yog tias hauv Coliseum muaj kev sib koom ua ke ntawm cov txuj ci, nyiaj txiag, thiab kev muaj tswv yim. Qhov project no tsis yog tsuas yog khaws cia cov cuab yeej cuab tam keeb kwm, tab sis kuj hais txog kev txhawb nqa lub zej zog hauv zej zog los tsim nws lub neej yav tom ntej. Lub tsev Coliseum sawv cev rau kev rov ua haujlwm, muaj tswv yim, thiab ntau haiv neeg ntawm cov neeg nyob thiab ua haujlwm hauv cheeb tsam no, thiab peb zoo siab los ua ib feem ntawm lawv lub zeem muag.

Siv Lub Zog Huv Huv rau Greener Lake Street
Coliseum co-owner Shanelle Montana, uas kuj yog tus tswv ntawm Lagniappe thiab Du Nord Cocktail Room, qhia hais tias, "Ib qho ntawm cov lus uas pheej tuaj rau kuv yog kev ruaj ntseg. Thiab tsis yog tsuas yog thaj chaw ntsuab, huv si, tab sis kev ruaj ntseg thoob plaws hauv thaj chaw kab lis kev cai thiab ib puag ncig. Xav txog yam peb tab tom ua hauv lub tsev no tuaj yeem nyob ntev thiab muab kev nqis peev rov qab rau hauv lub kaum ntse ntse ntawm Lake Street. "
Kev txhim kho lub tsev yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev ruaj ntseg hauv kev ua raws li Lub Nroog Minneapolis ' 2030 Climate Equity cog lus. Raws li tus tswv cuab thiab qhov project architect Alicia Belton ntawm Kev Tsim Nyog Hauv Nroog, "Kev khaws cia lub tsev yog ib qho ntawm cov khoom ruaj khov tshaj plaws uas koj tuaj yeem ua tau." Nkag mus rau qhov tshwj xeeb, Belton hais tias, "Peb tseem tsis tau muaj cov pa roj carbon nruab nrab, tab sis peb tau npaj cov khoom no rau hauv lub tsev." Hnub ci tau npaj rau hauv cov txheej txheem ntawm lub tsev kom muaj hluav taws xob huv. Cov tswv cuab sib koom kuj tseem tab tom khawb tob ntxiv kom muaj kev nyab xeeb rau cov cua sov thiab cua txias. "Lub aquifer thermal zog system peb tab tom tsim nyob rau ntawm lwm qhov chaw nyob ze, thiab [lub Coliseum] yuav ntsaws rau hauv qhov system thaum nws ua tiav," Redesign's Smrikárova qhia.
Lub aquifer thermal zog cia (ATES) system, uas yuav tsim nyob rau hauv lub qub US Bank qhov chaw Redesign yog redeveloping ntawm 2800 East Lake Street, yuav siv lub qhov dej kais mus rau hauv 50-degree kub ntawm lub hauv paus aquifer cov dej, siv tshav kub exchangers thiab cua kub twj tso kua mis kom txias los yog sov. cov tsev txuas nrog rau qhov system. Lub Coliseum yuav yog ib qho ntawm thawj cov khoom sib txuas rau lub network, uas tseem yuav txhawb nqa cov txheej txheem yav tom ntej ntxiv rau hauv qhov chaw, pab nthuav thaj chaw hloov pauv ntawm cov pa roj. Thaum ua tiav, nws yuav yog lub teb chaws loj tshaj plaws hauv nroog aquifer-based cua sov thiab cua txias. Thaum nrov hauv Tebchaws Europe, ATES tsuas yog nyuam qhuav tau txais traction hauv Minnesota, nrog rau tshiab system ua haujlwm hauv plawv nroog Rochester, ib tug tsis ntev los no ua tiav system ntawm lub Steamfitters thiab Pipefitters Hauv Zos 455 union nyob rau hauv Saint Paul, thiab ob lub tshuab nyob rau hauv txoj kev loj hlob ntawm Saint Paul Public Schools.
"Kev khaws cia lub tsev yog ib yam uas muaj kev ruaj ntseg tshaj plaws uas koj tuaj yeem ua tau."

Chaw rau Txhua Tus
Belton tau piav qhia txog Coliseum hauv qab daus thiab peb lub plag tsev uas yog ib qho cuab yeej ntawm kev pabcuam rau cov lag luam hauv zos uas muab chaw ua haujlwm sib koom ua ke, thiab cov chaw ua haujlwm tshiab nyob hauv ib lub tsev pov npav keeb kwm. Nws kuj tseem muaj cov xwm txheej rau kev ua koob tsheej xws li kab tshoob kev kos thiab cov neeg ua haujlwm tawm, thiab thawj chav sib xyaw ntawm tsev noj mov thiab khw muag khoom xaiv. Txhawm rau ntxiv dag zog rau cov neeg xauj tsev thiab cov qhua yav tom ntej, cov tswv cuab koom ua ke suav nrog thiab siv tau cov qauv tsim xws li lactation, thov Vajtswv, thiab cov chav xav hauv lawv qhov kev teeb tsa, nrog rau cov chaw nres tsheb ntxuav ko taw hauv lawv chav dej.
Kev npau suav ib txwm ntawm Coliseum cov tswv cuab yog tsim lub tsev uas lawv cov lag luam tuaj yeem vam meej thaum tsim kom muaj kev txais tos, suav nrog, qhov chaw nyob hauv zej zog uas ua rau muaj peev xwm ntau dua rau BIPOC cov neeg tsim khoom muaj txiaj ntsig thiab ntxiv dag zog rau Downtown Longfellow zej zog. Lub Coliseum txoj haujlwm qiv yog coj tus npau suav ntawd mus rau lub neej nrog 25 tus nqi xauj tsev. Co-owner Janice Downing ntawm Common Sense Consulting zoo siab txog kev sau cov chaw lag luam nrog cov neeg uas "lwm yam, tsis yog lwm tus," hais txog kev nkag siab ntawm zej zog muaj peev xwm ntawm cov neeg uas tsis txheeb xyuas qhov tseem ceeb "kom nkag mus rau hauv lub tsev thiab nyob hauv lub tsev."
Daim paib tshiab ntawm lub tsev sab yog tsim los ntawm Sharp Sign Co. thiab nta cov "Du Bois” hom ntawv raws li WEB DuBois 'cov ntaub ntawv pom, tso tawm ntawm 1900 Ntiaj Teb Kev Ncaj Ncees hauv Paris. Thaum tab tom tsim kho, lub tsev Coliseum tau qhwv nrog kev sib xyaw ua ke ntawm pej xeem cov duab los ntawm cov neeg ua yeeb yam hauv zos. Cov lus thiab cov duab los ntawm cov paj huam zoo li Isha Camara, Marcie R. Rendon, Saib ntxiv PERSPECTIVE, thiab TruArt Hais lus sawv nrog lub zos kos duab curated los ntawm tsibXfive Public Art, ib qho kev xav ib ntus ntawm ntau haiv neeg thiab ntau haiv neeg zej zog uas tau ua ib qho kev ceeb toom ntawm lub tsev keeb kwm thiab kev tshoov siab rau nws lub neej yav tom ntej, ua kom lub zej zog lub zeem muag ntawm Coliseum lub renaissance. Niaj hnub no, ib tug haib mural los ntawm Kada Creative uas tus tswv cuab thiab tus thawj coj kws tsim qauv Alicia Belton hais tias yog "lub teeb ci ci ntawm kev koom nrog uas txhawb nqa cov keeb kwm nplua nuj ntawm ntau haiv neeg no thaum qhia txog kev hlub, kev cia siab thiab kev kho mob."
Qhov kev tsim kho dua tshiab no yog kev hloov pauv ntawm tus ntsuj plig uas sawv cev rau kev ruaj ntseg, kev sib koom tes, thiab kev nqis peev uas cuam tshuam rau hauv BIPOC-coj kev lag luam thiab kev tsim muaj nyiaj txiag. Nyob rau hauv lub hnub nyoog tshiab no, zaj dab neeg ntawm Coliseum yog ib qho kev ceeb toom rau txhua tus hais tias kev nqis peev ntawm BIPOC-coj kev coj noj coj ua hauv zej zog yog kev nqis peev hauv kev txuag kab lis kev cai, kev tsim muaj vaj huam sib luag, thiab kev lag luam hauv zos muaj zog.
Qhov no 21st Century revitalization ntawm ib tug historic landmark yog ib tug tseem ceeb kev coj noj coj ua thiab sustainability tseem ceeb. Yog tias ntau tus tsim tawm, lub hauv paus, thiab kev lag luam ua raws li tus qauv uas Coliseum tau teeb tsa, thaj tsam keeb kwm ntawm liab-liab thiab kaum xyoo ntawm kev nqis peev kho tau. Raws li lub zej zog tshiab touchstone, Coliseum yog rov ua pov thawj tias East Lake Street tau nce siab, nrog rau qhov muaj peev xwm ua rau muaj kev cuam tshuam deb. “Qhov project no tau ua haujlwm ntawm kev hlub. Nws muaj cov txiv hmab txiv ntoo zoo kawg, ”hais Downing. "Los ntawm cov tshauv nce lub phoenix."
