Our latest project at Reedsburg Area Medical Center is going up rapidly. Structural steel has finished up, and the exterior of the building is nearly enclosed. Roofing and concrete topping pours are starting this month. The installation of the exterior masonry veneer will begin in spring after the air and vapor barrier has been installed. This two-story clinic will feature over 50 exam rooms, provider offices, a community pharmacy, and shelled space for future build-outs. The primary clinic will focus on space for women’s health, diabetic care, primary care, rehabilitation, behavioral health, and walk-in care. Unique to this rural health clinic, the exam rooms feature a double-sided exam room, with one door leading to the patient hallway and the other to the care team workspace. Creating an inviting environment, entries to each corridor include wood paneling with stainless steel accents, graphics, and LED lighting. This primary clinic marks our 13th project for Reedsburg Area Medical Center over our 31-year relationship!

Our crews at New Glarus Elementary School are taking advantage of the mild weather in February. This project started in October with the earthwork finishing up in December. Just prior to the earthwork finishing, we started the foundations and interior structural pads. Currently, the exterior two-station gymnasium bearing walls are wrapping up with masons now focusing on the rest of the exterior walls and interior bearing walls. Structural steel is scheduled to start this month and continue throughout March. Comprised of brick and metal wall panels, the exterior of the building aims to match the existing structure. Next to the new centralized entry, storefront glass windows bring in ample daylight into the cafeteria. The addition is designed with all 4K – 2nd grade classrooms featuring exterior windows. Each grade has its own collaboration space and cubby lockers. Also included in the project are administrative offices, a speech therapy classroom, and mechanical penthouses.

The Royall Schools Addition project is starting to take shape. Measuring 28,500 square feet, this addition will connect the Elementary School to the Middle/High School. Featuring a 2-station fieldhouse, this project also encompases a centralized entrance, district offices, reception areas, and an agricultural classroom. Adding a decorative touch to the building, the entryway includes a covered canopy, while the fieldhouse consists of translucent panels on the front end, allowing daylight to shine into the gymnasium. Creating a seamless connection, the exterior brick masonry was hand selected to match both existing buildings. While roofing and masonry veneer are ongoing, concrete slab-on-grade pours have started and are continuing throughout the end of December. Installation of the translucent panels, aluminum entrances, and windows are scheduled to start soon, leading into the middle of January. Interior painting will follow all of these milestones.

Reedsburg Area Medical Center recently held their groundbreaking ceremony for a new Primary Clinic addition located at their hospital. Staff, members of the RAMC board, community leaders, and personnel from EUA and Kraemer Brothers lined up in the area of new construction. This new Primary Clinic addition will feature over 50 exam rooms, procedure rooms, consultation rooms, multiple teamwork rooms, and provider offices. The building will encompass areas for a family practice clinic, pharmacy, diabetic care, behavioral health, women’s health, imaging, administrative support spaces, telehealth offices, and space for future build-outs. We are excited to continue our 30-year relationship with this client. Thank you to all who attended this monumental event!

Located in the growing City of Sun Prairie, Colorado Commons will meet the ever-increasing housing demands in the area. Featuring 108 units consisting of studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom suites, this 144,000 square foot multi-family complex will also include lower-level underground parking. The roof and window installation has finished, making way for the exterior masonry veneer and fiber cement lap siding. Inside MEP rough-ins are ongoing and will continue into early November. Drywall installation has started in the units and will continue after the MEP rough-ins are complete. Painting will start after the drywall install, followed by doors and hardware, cabinets, and flooring. Future phases will include a clubhouse and additional units.

AGC of Wisconsin recently awarded 37 projects for their annual Build Wisconsin awards program. Kraemer Brothers received two awards for projects in the new construction and renovation categories. The two projects include Sauk Prairie Police Station, and Kickapoo Area School District Aquatics Renovation. These two projects were recognized for their sustainable practices, craftsmanship, innovation, and meeting difficult challenges.

The Sauk Prairie Police Station replaced an aging municipal building. Consisting of police personnel offices, community conference rooms, exercise & wellness areas, evidence processing rooms, and a large indoor parking garage, Kraemer Brothers implemented many sustainable features to help support the surrounding environment. Constructed of decorative natural stone and brick, metal siding, and large glass windows, this police station will serve the community for years to come!

The Kickapoo Area School District Aquatics Renovation consisted of converting an inoperable natatorium into a usable pool and multipurpose room. Also included in the project are refurbished locker rooms, equipment and pool storage rooms, laundry/treatment rooms, and a basement housing the mechanical equipment used to run the pool and newly renovated space. New wall coverings and tile matching the Kickapoo Panther’s school colors was installed throughout the natatorium as well as glass windows for viewing and natural lighting.
