For the 2013 ULI/Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition, 149 teams from 70 universities in the United States and Canada developed solutions for a site in Minneapolis’s Downtown East neighborhood, near the new Minnesota Vikings stadium.
The Hines jury met on February 19 and 20 to evaluate the entries and named the four finalists who will advance to the next stage of the competition.
The finalists gathered in Minneapolis to make their final presentations in April, and the joint team representing Kansas State University, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and the University of Kansas took home the grand prize.
