Kraemer Brothers Breaks Ground at River Ridge

Our latest project with both River Ridge School District and FEH Design began when Kraemer Brothers broke ground on February 27 at the site just off Highway 18 in Patch Grove, WI. The $9.5 million referendum passed in November 2016, a decision that is allowing the district to consolidate all K-12 students at one location. The Bloomington school location, which has become significantly inefficient, will close once the project is complete in November 2017. The district has been working with Kraemer Brothers for nearly four years, making it an exciting time for us, the district, the community, and FEH Design to finally see the construction begin. The bulk of the project consists of a 28,000-square-foot addition that will include eight new classrooms, a competition-sized gym, and locker rooms. A significant amount of MEP work will occur throughout the current facility as well. A few components of the MEP system are still the original components from the 1959 construction of the school and are no longer efficient to operate. For the first several weeks, an extensive amount of site work is necessary to prep before the work on the addition can begin.
