Ryan Companies are the property managers of the AT&T Tower in Minneapolis, which was built in 1991. Feeling pressure to stay competitive in the marketplace, Ryan was seeking recommendations for elevating the building's offerings, and engaged Shea to provide an audit of the building.

Shea's recommendations included upgrading the building's public spaces and offering better food service options and tenant amenities.  Shea has been working with Ryan over the last few years on implementing recommended design elements including fresh finishes, a new security desk, new directional signage and several new public seating options. Shea was also involved in developing an art program for the building, assisting with the selection of an artist for a custom piece for the lobby. A life-size bronze-cast sculpture of a person sitting on a bench observing a large American flag complements the building's architecture and takes advantage of the large-scale vertical space and art deco-inspired columns. The contemplative nature of the piece has captured the attention of tenants and guests and has added a unique element that sets this building apart.

All the building's enhancements have been implemented in phases and have provided maximum impact for tenants and guests.
