Casino floors are built to last for decades, but the gaming industry doesn't stand still. As player preferences shift and digital gaming evolves, operators need environments that adapt without costly renovations every time the market changes.

At Wind Creek Southland, NELSON's Hospitality team approached flexibility as a long-term investment strategy, creating a gaming environment that allows operators to respond to performance data, introduce new experiences, and pursue revenue opportunities over time. Sonia Benner, NELSON Senior Interior Designer, Hospitality, shares how this approach can help operators protect their investments while positioning properties for continued growth.

Mark Lawrence, NELSON Regional Design Leader, Mixed-Use, represented our team at Architects Connect 2026 in Chicago on October 15–16. Hosted by dormakaba Americas in conjunction with RIBAJ, the Royal Institute of British Architects Journal, the invitation-only event brought architecture professionals together around the theme “Built in Layers. Designed for Trust.”

The conversation explored how urban layers, security, technology, and human-centered design intersect to shape our cities. For mixed-use environments, these considerations are closely connected: integrating protection with an accessible, welcoming experience is essential to creating places people feel confident using and returning to.

Translating an established retail brand into a smaller footprint requires preserving what makes it recognizable while creating new ways to connect with customers. NELSON helped Bloomingdale’s bring that vision to life with the Bloomie’s concept and continues to support its evolution through a longstanding partnership across locations nationwide.

At Bloomie’s Old Orchard in Skokie, Illinois, our Retail team carried that thinking forward with a curated shopping experience that keeps personalized service central. The flexible format allows merchandise offerings to evolve with customer demand while maintaining the brand identity customers know.

A building’s shared spaces can shape the entire tenant experience.

At Wells Fargo Place in downtown St. Paul, NELSON partnered with Unilev to reimagine an
underutilized lobby, conference center, tenant lounge, and exterior patio—creating more opportunities for people to gather, collaborate, and connect.

Informed by tenant engagement, the renovation pairs inviting seating areas, warm lighting, and a suspended sculpture with flexible meeting spaces that support everything from focused conversations to larger training sessions. Together, these updates bring renewed purpose to the building’s common areas and strengthen its sense of community.
