ROCHESTER, MINN. — Kraus-Anderson has completed the adaptive reuse and construction of the Development Services and Infrastructure Center and the North Station for the Rochester Police Department (RPD) in southern Minnesota. The total project investment was $18.4 million. As space became limited at City Hall, the City of Rochester bought the former Think Bank building and land in 2016 in order to relocate the RPD and the city’s newly formed Development Services and Infrastructure team, which includes the Community Development Department, Building Safety and Public Works. Designed by BKV Group, the 47,000-square-foot transformation of the Think Bank building began in July 2019.

MAPLETON, MINN. — Kraus-Anderson has begun construction of a new $63 million K-12 school for the Maple River School District, located on the south side of Mapleton near County Highway 7 in southern Minnesota. Designed by ISG Architects, the two-story, 185,000-square-foot school will feature new classrooms, administration offices, three gymnasiums, playgrounds, a kitchen, café and 500-seat auditorium. The learning spaces will be organized via an elementary wing and a middle/high school wing. Outdoor spaces will include new parking lots, retention ponds, walking paths and playfields. Construction is slated for completion in fall 2022. Neither the name of the school nor the predicted number of students was released.
