MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MINN. — The Opus Group has completed the new 96,000-square-foot student activities center for Saint Thomas Academy in Mendota Heights, a southeast suburb of Minneapolis. Named Vincent J. Flynn Hall, the new facility provides spaces for art and music, academics and athletics. The athletics areas include a competition gymnasium seating more than 1,300 and an auxiliary gymnasium. The facility also features a large meeting room, health education classrooms, weight room, locker room and office space for coaches and physical education instructors. A two-story structure connects the new athletic facility to the school’s existing main building and includes a main entrance and lobby, classrooms and a school bookstore on the ground level. The upper level houses fine arts space with a band and choir suite, and a new art and multimedia room. Opus completed the project in August.
