If you have been to Northrop, you have a Northrop story. Maybe your story goes back to its opening in 1929—if so, we want to hear it! Or maybe you remember when it reopened ten years ago after a three-year, $88 million dollar renovation.

HGA Takes A Look Back

HGA, a national interdisciplinary design firm founded in Minnesota, guided the transformation of Northrop with JE Dunn Construction, Arup, and many other contractors assisting—from almost completely gutting it to reinvigorating its iconic features and reconfiguring and expanding all spaces and stages. Take a look back at this enormous undertaking and learn about the many improvements and additions that were made during the renovation in this story on the HGA Insights blog.
