Working with North Prairie Tileworks, Todd Remington was commissioned to restore the historic terra cotta barrel and groin vaults of the Minnesota State Capitol Building. Designed by Cass Guilbert, the vaults were originally imported from Europe but the terra cotta technology that created the vaults had been lost. Todd Remington heading a team of crafts people was able to replicate the technology and replace the terra cotta vaults.

Todd has also worked on various aspects of the the Montana State Capitol Complex Retoration Project with Crossman-Whitney-Griffin Architects of Helena Montana.
