CRWD Office

The new headquarters of the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD) is located on a former industrial brownfield site at the junction of Saint Paul’s historic University Avenue industrial district and the diverse Hamline-Midway neighborhood. This urban revitalization project expresses the mission and vision of the CRWD through exterior spaces and high-performance landscapes that rehabilitate the local ecosystem, while enhancing equity and inclusion in the community. The crown jewel of the project is a public pocket park featuring an interactive exhibit, fed by collected roof runoff, which nourishes a micro-watershed and raises awareness about water resource protection.
