Kraus-Anderson has begun a $29.5 million renovation at Jordan Public Schools in Jordan, Minnesota.
Designed by ISG, construction of the overall 96,435-square-foot project will take place in 2024 and 2025.
Elementary School:
The elementary school project comprises two separate additions totaling 28,000 square feet. One addition encompasses an 8,500-square-foot gymnasium space intended for use as a storm shelter. The other addition features the construction of new classrooms, cafeteria, kitchen, gymnasium, loading dock and secure front entry. Extensive interior renovations will be made to the existing classrooms, storage spaces and media center. The project will also replace windows, upgrade bathrooms and enhance mechanical and electrical systems.
The exterior improvements involve reconstructing parking lots, playground areas and other site improvements aimed at enhancing bus and parent drop-off zones. Modifications to parking areas will also improve student safety and minimize traffic impacts on the neighborhood.
During the summer of 2024, interior renovations will be made to the 1970s section of the existing elementary school, including the classrooms, art room, media center, storage spaces, and exterior window replacements, bathroom upgrades, and mechanical and electrical system upgrades.
During the summer of 2025, interior renovations will be made to the K-1 wing of the building, including the kitchen and cafeteria, bathrooms, and to the Early Learning Services classrooms and office space.
Construction will continue on the elementary school cafeteria, kitchen and gymnasium addition throughout the year.
High School:
The high school project includes a new secured front entry configuration with a new reception area and office spaces.
Construction on both schools is expected to be completed in the late summer of 2025.
