H+U Construction was attained to construct an 85,000 SF, 2-story walk out elementary school in Lakeville, Minnesota. The school is strategically located as a part of a new housing development to help reduce class size in surrounding schools, and increase lot value in the neighborhood. H+U incorporated 21st century learning initiatives by providing environments rich in natural lighting, open for hands-on collaborative learning, with high efficiency mechanical units delivering unparalleled air quality. The school was intelligently designed to accommodate future additions as enrollment increases, with mechanical, electrical, and utility systems in place so they could be efficiently connected in pre-determined locations. The project was completed in a year, on schedule and millions of dollars under budget.

Apple Valley High School was one of the larger, and perhaps the most complex of the 35 projects H+U completed on behalf of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District over the past 5 years. The project combined the complexity of a phased project inside an occupied building, with an extremely aggressive summer schedule for completing significant portions of the 85,000/SF interior renovation. The new addition houses a commons area and office space. Renovated areas included much of the building
circulation space, classrooms, and a series of learning stairs in the center of the building.

In 2019 Lester Prairie Public Schools hired H+U Construction as their Construction Manager for a major construction project on the District’s K-12 building. After months of planning, pre-construction support, and
a successful referendum, construction on two additions and remodels began. The improvements included new administrative and learning spaces, front entryway, athletic facilities, commercial kitchen, commons, and workshop. The project was completed 14 months later and is a major accomplishment for the school and the community.

Recognized by Finance & Commerce Magazine as a “Top Project of 2020”, the main goal of the Humboldt High School additions and renovations was to ensure that the school is able to meet the 21st century learning needs of students.

H+U served as the Construction Manager for Saint Paul Public Schools’ American Indian Magnet School (AIMS). AIMS underwent a four-year addition and renovation project that modernized its PreK through 8 campus and strengthened its cultural identity.

H+U served as the Construction Manager for Saint Paul Public Schools’ Barack + Michelle Obama Montessori Elementary School. The project was a major renovation and additions effort that modernized the historic 1925 to 1926 buildings and prepared them to serve a unified PreK through 8 program.

H+U has been working with the Prior Lake-Savage Area School District to complete new construction, addition, and renovation projects for more than 20 years. In 2003 we were hired to build the Prior Lake High School, and in 2013 we partnered with the district to build the 33,000/SF addition. Even more recently, H+U began construction on several additions at Prior Lake High School totaling $39,000,000 in construction.
