Architecture
The architecture has a relative form follows function design. “… the building features streamlined massing tailored to fit the program and culmination at the gardens.” The facade consists of corrugated metal siding, red cedar, and glass elements. On the inside, the brewing equipment is put on display in double height spaces behind large glass windows. Figure 1 below shows the main beer hall and brewing equipment on display.

Building Enclosure
Building Facade:
The building facade is comprised mainly of a metal paneling or wood siding finish backed on either a concrete or steel studded wall. The two wall details below show examples of both the metal panel or wood siding as well as the concrete or metal stud back up.
Roofing:
The single-ply roofing membrane is supported by either steel decking or CIP concrete slab depending on the location on the roof. See the roof detail below for further clarification for the roofing system.
Sustainable Features
Brownfield:
The project was built on an industrial "brownfield" site. The site, historically, was used for research, development, and production of industrial chemicals. Ash, industrial liquids, and waste materials had been disposed of on the site. The development of Surly Destination Brewery has helped clean up the site and make it a place that attracts people to the beer hall and garden.
LEED:
LEED guidelines influenced the project while in design, LEED certification was not pursued. The site is located close to mass transit and is pedestrian and biker friendly. The site has parking space for 100 bicycles.
Construction
The project used a design - bid - build method. Construction lasted from August 2012 to December 2014. There were a few unique installations required for the project. One was that all underground duct and piping needed to be hung from the first floor structural slab above, therefore, phasing was very important. This was necessary due to the continuously settling ground on the site. Another unique feature was the brewing equipment installation. A majority of the initial coordination for installation was done across seas since the design build contractor was based out of Germany.
Lighting / Electrical
Utility Power Supplied:
The project receives secondary power (277/480V) from the utility (Xcel Energy) through a 3000A main service disconnect with generator connections on the transfer switch.
System Description:
A 3000A switch gear serves the entire building at 277/480V. Everything excluding the elevators, mechanical equipment, and the brewery process equipment are then knocked down and run on 120/208V.
Lighting:
A variety of LED lights are used to make each space unique and enjoyable to the customers. Some are used to put the brewing equipment on display. Others are used to provide an energetic atmosphere in the restaurant spaces. There are also landscape lighting to invite people out and enjoy the beer garden.
Mechanical
All spaces are served by their respective roof top units (RTUs). There are a total of eleven RTUs. Each unit uses DX cooling and gas heating. The bathrooms, kitchens and brewing process spaces have power rooftop ventilators (PRVs) to exhaust the spaces. Perimeter spaces with large envelope loads have supplemental heat in electric duct coils. Vestibules and loading docks also have spot heaters, electric or gas, to offset the sudden load fluctuations. All spaces have a set point of 70 degrees F in the heating season and 75 degrees F in the cooling season.
Structural
The entire building is supported by steel framing with a structural slab on the ground level resting on piles. This is required due to continuous settling of the site and need for heavy machinery use on the floors. The facade is backed by concrete or steel studded walls. The roofing membrane is supported by either steel decking or CIP concrete slabs depending on location.
Support Systems
Fire Protection:
The project has a wet sprinkler system.
Transportation:
The project has two elevators, one public and one service near the kitchens. With the project being only two stories, most use the stairs and those who can't use the public elevator. The is easily accessed by bike, car and a public transit a few blocks away.
Telecommunications:
The telecom and brewing control rooms are located in the core of the building on the first floor.
Special Systems
Brewing Process:
The brewing process requires many pieces of equipment for various stages of the process. Heating and cooling for the process is driven by two 150 HP process steam boilers in the boiler room and one process chiller on the roof.
Methane Ventilation System:
Since the project site was a brownfield, one safety precaution was a methane ventilation system below the first level structural slab. The is in place to prevent build up of methane gas below the slab that may come up through the earth.
