Kraus-Anderson has completed construction of a $6.7 million career tech center for Fairmont Public Schools at 900 Johnson St. at the south end of the campus in Fairmont, Minnesota.
The new vocational center will benefit students interested in pursuing careers in the trades, business, agriculture, culinary and aeronautics, among others.
Designed by ISG Architects, the 18,962-square-foot expansion of the high school’s vocational area features new classrooms, a woodshop, automotive shop, construction and manufacturing labs and programming lab.
In February of 2021, voters approved a bond referendum to fund the expansion to prepare students to fill good-paying jobs, which will respond to the immediate need for skilled workers in the area.
