  • Valspar is one of Minneapolis' oldest and most established global companies. Since 1806, Valspar has delivered industry-leading innovations and the finest quality products and customer service in the coatings industry.
  • Egan supplied the electrical, fire alarm, and paging systems for various labs and office spaces on the project, which entailed a complete gut and remodel of two buildings—one built in 1903 and the other in 1912.
