MINOT, ND — Kraus-Anderson (KA) has completed construction on a new $116 million high school in Minot, North Dakota. The school opened its doors to approximately 1,000 students and teachers. The two-year construction project began in August of 2022.
The existing building was previously owned by Cognizant and used as a call center until it was sold to the school district. The building was renovated into classrooms and offices, and an addition was constructed which is connected to the building.
Designed by Ackerman-Estvold, the new 275,259-square-foot school features music and tech classrooms, gymnasiums and kitchen, and cafeteria. Outside, the school includes a turf field stadium with a track and grass practice fields. The existing parking lots were also expanded to accommodate the new building and traffic flow required for the school’s operation.
Construction on a new pool and auditorium — both with a mezzanine — is expected to be completed in December 2024.
Over the past five years, KA has completed over $1 billion in K-12 projects. KA’s comprehensive school construction services include facility analysis and budget approaches, leading to informed and successful referendum initiatives.
