Prior Lake-Savage Area School District

Scope Of Work

We have been working with the Prior Lake-Savage Area School district and Wold Architects to complete New Construction, Addition and Renovation projects for more than 18 years.

The Prior Lake High School was originally constructed by our firm in 2003. As a result of growth within the district, our firm was hired in 2013 to complete a 33,000-square-foot, $8.3 million Addition to the school that was completed in August 2014 within the original schedule and budget.

Flexible space was a key component of the district plans for expansion. Classrooms were built with little or no fixed furniture. Every component of these new classrooms is movable and every occupied area within the new Addition has access to natural lighting. Group work areas in corridors are used throughout the day for collaboration and docking stations allowing students to charge devices as they work in common areas.

The three-story Addition was built to match the layout of the existing high school and added approximately 33,000- square-feet, with 11,000-square-feet on each floor and a second elevator. The design included two science labs, three general-purpose classrooms and a small office room on each level. The design also included a central resource area with a conference room as well as a technology/laptop cart storage room and a custodial closet on each floor, a major kitchen expansion, security upgrades at all entrances and significant exterior work.
