Kraus-Anderson Duluth has completed a $21.43 million remodel and addition for Ely Public Schools at 600 E. Harvey St. in Ely, Minnesota.
The district is comprised of Ely Memorial High School and Washington Elementary and serves about 550 students.
Designed by Architectural Resources, Inc., the 110,500-square-foot project included a 71,000-square-foot remodel of the two existing schools.
The addition houses new CTE classrooms, gymnasium, media center, music room, metals shop, wood shop and a cafeteria with commercial kitchen equipment. Both schools were remodeled with upgraded HVAC systems that meet current air quality standards. New boys and girls locker rooms were added at the high school and an Early Family Childhood Education (ECFE) area was added at the elementary school.
The project also included site improvements, the demolition of several existing buildings and the relocation of a large LP gas tank and vaporizer.
Construction began in May 2021.
