Integrated construction management firm Kraus-Anderson recently announced that it has completed addition projects at three schools within Marshall County Central Schools in Minnesota, according to a news release. Funding came from an $18.9-million building referendum passed by the community in August 2022 to create new space for students and school programs. The district also partnered with Widseth Architects for all three projects’ designs.

Marshall County Central High School will serve students in grades 5–12 starting with the 2024–25 academic year. The 93,559-square-foot addition project included five new classrooms, a new cafeteria, a commons area, a secondary gymnasium, a weight room, and a bus loop. Construction was timed to finish in time for the fall 2024 semester, the news release reports.

Newfolden Elementary, which serves students in grades 2–4, saw the addition of a new library, outdoor basketball court, music room, and parking lot. Construction finished in summer 2023, and indoor remodeling was completed in summer 2024.

Viking Elementary serves PreK students through first-graders. The 17,842-square-foot project features a new front office and secure entrance, a music room, kitchen administrative space, and storage. Remodeling also created space for a school nurse office, library, staff lunch room expansion, and additional preschool space. Construction finished in January, and additional remodeling was finished during summer 2024, according to the news release.
