Tenant Design Guidelines

1. Purpose of Document 

   1. The following Design Guidelines for Tenant improvements have been established to encourage exciting concession concepts and design identity within the commercial/retail areas of the terminals at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), including Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. They are intended to ensure an orderly and aesthetically coordinated approach to storefront and sign design in keeping with the design objectives of MSP and to ensure that standards for storefronts, interior finishes and signage requirements are understood by Tenants, their contractors and their designers.

      The latest edition of these Tenant Design Guidelines, together with all Lease and lease drawing documentation required by the Landlord comprise the Tenant Package. Tenants are strongly encouraged to become familiar with the intent and details of these documents prior to the commencement of their design and construction, and to become aware of the special characteristics of the terminal buildings and how their architectural elements, finishes, and materials will affect individual concession design solutions. Tenants must comply with the requirements and conditions set forth in the Tenant Package. Should there be any discrepancies between the Tenant Design Guidelines and the Lease, the latter shall govern.

      The Landlord or Landlord’s Representative shall have absolute right of review and approval over all aspects of concession tenant improvements, as well as the discretion to waive any of the design guidelines so long as the concept, quality and character of the project are not significantly affected.

2. How to Use this Document 

   1. Each Tenant must be familiar with the intent, scope and detailed requirements of this handbook before the design process begins. It is the Tenant’s responsibility to visit the site and verify existing conditions, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical and construction sustainability requirements. Each Tenant’s design must be approved by the Landlord before any permits are issued and construction is allowed to begin. Submittal and approval procedures are outlined in the CPIT Procedure Manual.

3. Design Intent

   Retail and food and beverage presentation within MSP will require careful consideration to scale, exposure to patrons of all abilities, visibility and circulation patterns. Design merchandising solutions should encourage store identity and product recognition through the emphasis of storefront transparency, creative concession identity graphics, vibrant merchandise display and strong overall retail identity. The application of glass and facade detailing of storefronts must reflect a standard of high environmental quality. Facades and accompanying displays should suggest the independent character of individual retailers and the quality of services and types of merchandise and food that they provide.

4. Definitions

   1. The following definitions are used throughout the Tenant Design Guidelines and shall be interpreted as follows:

      1. ADA refers to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
      2. Common Area is the space used by the general public that is designed and maintained by the Landlord.
      3. Concourses are the public circulation zones that lead from Terminal 1- to all airline gates. Currently, there are seven concourses referred to as A, B, C, D, E, F and G.
      4. Demising Walls are common walls that mark the lease lines between independent Concession Tenant-leased areas or other separately designed spaces, including public spaces, service corridors, gatehold, etc.
      5. Landlord is the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and any of its representatives.
      6. Lease lines (except where noted on plan exhibits) extend from the outermost point of the storefront’s exterior face into the rear of the Concession Tenant’s leased premises and from the centerline of the side demising walls.
      7. LEED is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design that provides a framework for healthy, efficient, and cost-saving green buildings.
      8. Storefronts shall be defined as the architectural facades of any Tenant-leased premise perimeter adjacent to public circulation areas of the terminals, including doorways. The storefront will be physically defined by base building elements provided by the Landlord which surround and frame the concession tenant storefront. Elements include side piers, the upper fascia/bulkhead, and the floor surface at the lease line.
      9. Construction Sustainability are the requirements related to the construction of the unit.
      10. Tenant is the lessee, including all food and retail concessionaires in the Airport.
      11. Terminal 1 is the central airport building and the hub of all concourses.
      12. Terminal 2 is a separate building containing Gates H1-14, located approximately one mile southwest of the Terminal 1
      13. “Universal Design is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size, ability or disability.”  https://universaldesign.ie/
5. Landlord Work/Tenant Work 

   1. The following is an overview of responsibilities assumed by the Landlord for design, construction, and improvements to the concession tenant leased premises. Specific Tenant work is described, as it applies to the leased premises, in the various sections of the Tenant Design Guidelines. The Landlord will be responsible for the construction of common areas, concession tenant-leased premise shell, and all pedestrian circulation areas/systems (unless otherwise noted). In some cases, airlines tenants will be responsible as agents of MAC, and concession tenants will work both with the Landlord (MAC) and the applicable tenant airlines. The Tenant’s design construction materials will be at the sole discretion of the Landlord, and will be subject to change in accordance with the Landlord’s determination.

6. Pest Control

   1. See MAC Design and Construction Standards Guide Specification section 10 81 00 for pest control and rodent proofing requirements.

7. Submission Requirements

Accessibility

1. Minimum Code Requirements: All projects constructed at MSP must, at a minimum, meet the requirements of the ADA and MN Chapter 1341. 

2. Universal Design: MAC expects concessions concepts to consider and incorporate the definition and seven principals of Universal Design (Equitable Use, Flexibility in Use, Simple and Intuitive Use, Perceptible Information, Tolerance for Error, Low Physical Effort, Size and Space for Approach and Use). The following guidelines contribute to achieving this goal:

   1. Vertical Merchandising is recommended for both its ability to increase sales and more universal accessibility to products offered.

   2. Accessible seating shall be provided and distributed as described: 10 percent of total, but not less than two of each type of seating provided shall be accessible. This shall include bar, tables, and community tables.

   3. Clear space: Aisle widths must be adequate for passengers with baggage or luggage carts and also accommodate people with disabilities, particularly those who use wheelchairs.

Storefront

1. Storefront construction shall extend from the floor slab to the horizontal neutral bulkhead or ceiling above and shall abut the vertical demising systems at both sides of the demised concession tenant’s premises. Upon request, Landlord will consider design elements that extend beyond tenant lease line.
2. Neutral piers and fascia will be built by the Tenant, with Landlord-selected finishes abutting the lease line to be selected by the Landlord’s architect. If an existing Tenant space is re-demised, it shall be the Tenant’s responsibility to construct a new neutral pier.
3. Any soffit or neutral pier returns exposed by recessing the storefront shall be finished to match the Landlord’s neutral surround construction and finishes by the Tenant at Tenant’s cost.
4. The Tenant may not attach to or support their storefront from any part of the concourse neutral fascia (except for lateral support only).
5. No element of the storefront may extend beyond the concession tenant’s lease line with the exception of specified storefront blade signs where permitted by the specific criteria. The CPIT process does allow for the Tenant to propose elements that extend beyond the lease line for consideration.
6. All storefronts, except entry doors, shall have a minimum 6” high base of durable and maintainable material integrated with the storefront design. Acceptable materials include brass, chrome, aluminum, natural stone, or hardwood.

1. General Guidelines

   1. Landlord encourages signage that balances blending with the surrounding design environment, while contrasting with adjacent tenant’s signs to provide differentiation of identity. Tenants are required to design, fabricate, install and maintain storefront signs that exhibit imagination, high fabrication quality, and compatibility with adjacent and facing storefronts. Signage shall be limited to trading name and logo only, as approved by the Lease. No corporate brand names, product names, or phrases may be used on storefront signs or in any area visible to public areas without written Landlord approval.  All signs must be Underwriter Laboratory (UL)-approved. No exposed raceways, ballast, transformers, sign company names or labels are permitted.

      Creative signage that departs from the traditional will be required. Tenants should strive to develop signage that is an inherent part of the store concept. As the Landlord wishes for signs to be creatively integrated with base building architectural elements to form a successful composition, a specific vertical sign band has not been provided.
