Henson Efron has new digs in Capella Tower
Minneapolis law firm Henson Efron designed its new Capella Tower office to embrace a new way of work.
Capella Tower is a 58-story certified LEED Gold building in the center of downtown Minneapolis that was built in 1992. The building’s distinctive crown is an icon on the Minneapolis skyline.
The new office supports how the nature of work has evolved over the past year and incorporates flexibility that will continue into the future, Henson Efron says. The 45-year-old firm will occupy 15% less space than their previous footprint at U.S. Bank Plaza.

President and Dean Anthony Niedwiecki has announced the appointment of Michael Birchard to be Mitchell Hamline’s inaugural vice president for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“Michael was universally praised by those who interviewed him over the past few weeks,” noted Niedwiecki, in an email to faculty and staff. “He is one of the top DEI leaders in the Twin Cities and an innovative senior leader at his current institutions.”
Birchard will be part of Niedwiecki’s executive leadership team and will engage with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the broader community to lead the campus in developing a vision and strategy for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. The goal will also be to position Mitchell Hamline as a leader around these issues.

It was a homecoming for Waldorf junior Lorenzo Smith – a St. Paul Minnesota native – when he scored a season-high 26 points, four three-pointers, and five assists against Northwestern-St. Paul Tuesday night. The Dakota County Tech transfer also added seven rebounds and two steals on his way to be named North Start Athletic Association Men’s Basketball Player of the Week.
The honor is the first of the season for Smith and the Waldorf men’s basketball team, which gets Christmas off before returning to the court at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Bruin Classic hosted by Bellevue on Dec. 29-30.
