Specialty Surgery Center for Women, a division of Minnesota Women’s Care, located in Maplewood, celebrated its grand opening last week. Blumentals/Architecture is proud to announce the completion of this state-of-the-art surgery center for women. We designed the 3,000-square-foot facility to maximize space efficiently, enhancing patient care, workflow, and overall comfort, despite its compact size.

The surgery center aims to create a harmonious environment that blends timeless charm with a modern aesthetic. It features clean lines and vibrant energy, utilizing a palette of natural hues complemented by vibrant teal accents. This design transforms the space into a bright and inviting haven that prioritizes comfort, luxury, and healing for all patients.

Congratulations to Dr. Melvin Ashford, MD, and his team on the opening of their first surgery center for women!

A few words from Jim:
Reflecting on my journey over the years, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to those who have helped me along the way.

I would like to thank:
- My wife, Julie, for supporting me in pursuing my dreams, even when it hasn’t always been easy.
- My NDSU classmates and colleagues for helping me land this job and collaborating with us whenever we needed assistance.
- Janis and Su Blumentals, the original owners of the firm, for hiring me and for having the confidence to pass on the firm to me upon their retirement.
- Our current and past staff, who demonstrate their love for architecture every day and keep the firm moving forward.

It hasn't always been a smooth road, but the journey has been enjoyable. Thank you!

Blumentals/Architecture was instrumental in integrating the design of an event center into the historical J.I. Case Building owned and redeveloped by Sherman Associates, Inc. This historic building is now a diverse and multi-faceted redevelopment that embraces its historicity while leaning on some modern touches!

We're thrilled to share that our J.I. Case Building and Our Lady of Peace Hospice renovations have been honored as top projects of 2023 by Finance & Commerce! These awards recognize excellence in various areas such as degree of difficulty, creativity in design, innovative construction techniques, cooperation among contractors and management, and sustainability efforts.

The J.I. Case Building, located in the Downtown East neighborhood of Minneapolis, underwent a historic renovation, transforming the existing 3-story brick building to accommodate future restaurant spaces, new office space, and a rooftop deck.

The Our Lady of Peace Hospice Addition and Renovation was a multi-phase project. It involved the construction of additional patient suites, an entrance canopy, a lounge, and a renovated lobby, to foster a more welcoming atmosphere for guests and patients.

Jim Moy, our President and CEO, is also the Cub Master for the Stillwater Cub Scout Pack 9125.

This past weekend the Cub Scouts retired 3 American flags including one that had flown over the construction trailer at our Spring Creek ll construction project in Northfield, MN. The Cubs gave the American flags a dignified retirement by displaying the flags one last time, reciting the pledge of allegiance and folding them before the flags were placed in the fire. The Cubs stood in silent reverence as the flags burned. In the morning, the grommets were retrieved to honor the flags they once belonged to.

The simple, respectful process of retiring a flag allows for reverence and wonder.
