Clancy & Theys Construction Company was awarded the opportunity to construct and renovate Michigan Avenue Elementary School into a new state-of-the-art 130,000 square foot educational facility. The completed school was designed and built to increase building efficiency in an enhanced academic environment and was built in three comprehensive phases while the campus remained fully occupied.
The project included Building 1, a new 96,000 square foot, two-story administration, and classroom building constructed of a tilt-wall structure. The new facility features a colorfully designed media center, elementary designed classrooms that incorporate flexible learning environments with innovative technology. Additional features include a new music and art classroom, new teacher labs, and private conference space. The campus features a centrally located shared cafeteria and commercial kitchen that will serve both students, faculty, and staff on the shared Michigan Avenue Elementary School and St. Cloud Middle School campus.
Additionally, the campus underwent extensive redevelopment to include the demolition of the existing school, renovation of the school’s existing classroom building, Building 3, interior renovation of the gymnasium, restorations to the school’s existing playfield, and the addition of a new bus and parent loop. Site work included the relocation of the underground storm piping and water lines, the expansion of new retention areas capable of serving the new campus, and the completion of road improvements.
