A lovely perspective

A beautiful view of the inside of Hennepin county government center. You can notice the 6 catwalk bridges connecting the Administrative and Courts sections.

"The building was designed by the architectural firm of John Carl Warnecke & Associates. It was completed in 1977. It stands 403 feet (123 meters) tall and has 24 stories. When viewed from the Northeast or Southwest sides, it takes on the appearance of a stylized letter H. This shape serves as the logo of Hennepin County. Each side of the "H" is a separate tower. The towers are connected by catwalk bridges on several floors. The whole is enclosed by glass windows to form an atrium.

 

The Southeast side is known as the court tower. It houses courtrooms, county attorney offices, and the Hennepin law library. The Northwest side houses county administrative offices such as social services and county records."
