Kraus-Anderson begins construction on
Jackson County Central Schools in Lakefield, Minn.
Projects are part of district bond referendum passed in 2019
LAKEVIEW, Minn. (March 2021) – Kraus-Anderson (KA) will begin construction on two projects for Jackson County Central Schools in Lakefield in southern Minnesota. The $26 million project includes the construction of a new middle school and interior remodeling of Pleasantview elementary school.
Designed by JLG Architects, the new 84,000-square-foot Pleasantview Middle School features new classrooms, technology learning spaces and science classrooms. The new school also adds a new gymnasium, band and choir areas, kitchen and commons area.
Interior renovations to Pleasantview Elementary School, located adjacent to the middle school, include air quality upgrades, as well as improvements meeting Americans with Disabilities Act requirements at all district buildings.
Kraus-Anderson worked with the district on the $35.4 million district bond referendum, which voters passed in November 2019. The referendum addresses the district’s needs for facility replacement and improvements that will help to prepare students for careers and post-secondary education opportunities.
