H.B. Fuller Headquarters Gets Architectural Award

St. Paul, MN, Sept. 7, 2010--H.B. Fuller Company said that its world headquarters building in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota has received the 2010 American Institute of Architects Minnesota 25-Year Award.

Established by AIA Minnesota in 1981, the 25-Year Award recognizes exemplary architectural projects that have withstood the test of time.

Designed by HGA Architects & Engineers, the H.B. Fuller building represents the mid-century efforts of the architectural profession to address environmentally responsible building and energy conservation. The building was designed at the time of the energy crisis of 1979 and was aligned to H.B. Fuller's vision of environmental sustainability.

The site consists of several acres of wetland habitat and a sixty-acre lake, so the goal was to create minimal impact upon the site.
