Congrats to LSE Senior Interior Designer Ross Anderson, who recently hit his 10-year anniversary with us! Thanks Ross and congrats on this career milestone!
Favorite Projects: “Andersen Community School, Minneapolis - one of my early projects here. I got to be very creative, the lobby floor was custom and turned out spectacularly (got 2nd place in an Armstrong Flooring competition). I went to school there myself from grades 2-8, so it's special to me.😄
Black Bear Hotel remodel, Carlton, MN - I love the soothing color palette, custom wallcovering and working with local photographers for custom artwork. I also worked on the original project in 2005 with several of the same people at Black Bear and LSE whom I worked with at a previous firm. Full circle!”
Things you might not know about Ross: A plant & ghost story enthusiast, Ross has ridden on 105 roller coasters! One was the same roller coaster twice - once in six flags in Denver, & again when it was dismantled & rebuilt at Coney Island.
Favorite quote: “Every day I write the book.” Won LSE’s 2023 Fun Fridays hula hoop contest.
Ribbon cutting is today for Ponca Tribe of Nebraska's expanded Prairie Flower Casino! This 70,000 sf expansion includes additional slot machines, table games, sports betting and upscale dining with an uplifted aesthetic inspired by prairie grass and fireflies.
Mark your calendars! On Saturday, February 15th, Rondo CLT is happy to present the first in a series of Black History Month Wellness events: Community Mental Health with T. Mychael Rambo. A 3-time Midwest Emmy Award winning actor, vocalist, arts educator author, and public speaker, he’s made an indelible mark in the Twin Cities. You might recognize him as an accomplished auctioneer/emcee, but he is also a motivational speaker.
This event is free and we encourage anyone and everyone to attend.
