Principal Experience

The following projects were completed by Mike Newman, AIA, NCARB, while employed by previous architecture firms. They demonstrate the experience of the architect who directly leads MNArchitects assignments and are not presented as contracts performed by MNArchitects LLC.

Role: Project Architect

Mike led design development, construction documentation, consultant coordination, and construction administration for the adaptive reuse of a former grocery store into a municipal public-safety facility. The project included dispatch, administrative offices, training areas, equipment storage, secured operational spaces, and public-facing meeting rooms.

The design balanced security, durability, accessibility, operational efficiency, and a welcoming civic presence. Responsibilities included coordination of public-safety operations, building systems, code and life-safety requirements, accessibility, security, and reuse of an existing commercial structure.

Madison College Construction and Remodeling Program Facility
Client: Madison Area Technical College
Completed: 2025

Role: Project Architect

Mike led design development, construction documentation, consultant coordination, and construction administration for the renovation and partial demolition of an existing industrial cold- and dry-storage facility. The project converted the building into an instructional facility supporting Madison College’s construction and remodeling programs.

The renovated space accommodates hands-on technical education and provides an indoor environment for the construction of tiny homes throughout the year. The work required adaptive reuse of an existing industrial structure, coordination of educational program requirements, and integration of new building systems within the existing facility.
