Kraus-Anderson has completed construction on Jackson County Central Middle School in Lakefield, located in southern Minnesota.
Designed by JLG Architects, the new $26 million, 84,000-square-foot middle school features multiple classrooms, including Career and Tech education learning spaces and science classrooms. The new school also adds a new gymnasium, band and choir areas, kitchen and commons area.
Construction began in March 2021.
KA also renovated the district’s Pleasantview Elementary School in April of 2021. The elementary school project included air quality upgrades, as well as improvements meeting Americans with Disabilities Act requirements at all district buildings.
KA worked with Jackson County Central Schools on a $35.4 million district bond referendum, which voters passed in November 2019. The referendum addressed the district’s needs for facility replacement and improvements that will help to prepare students for careers and post-secondary education opportunities.
