Arena Admin Stations

Minneapolis, MN

StudioCraft partnered with a furniture dealer to create a series of administrative desks for the University of St. Thomas’s new arena. Completed in October 2025, the arena is a major addition to the university’s campus, supporting men’s and women’s athletic programs.

These desks serve as the first impression for athletes, staff, and visitors within the new facility and help to establish a consistent design aesthetic throughout the space.

We worked closely with our dealer partner to combine the flexibility of systems furniture with custom millwork elements, allowing the university to benefit from both modular functionality and a branded, cohesive appearance.

Materials were selected to align with the arena’s interior, including a Corian Sparkling Granita solid-surface countertop and laminate that matches finishes used in the surrounding facility.

The resulting desks were installed smoothly and efficiently and will provide durable, customized workspaces that support daily activity and reflect the vision of this premier campus project.
