MINNEAPOLIS (September 23, 2015) — RJM Construction, a Minneapolis-based general contractor, has broken ground on a new 61,000 sq.-ft. charter school for Twin Cities Academy. When completed in July of 2016, the facility will serve students in grades 6-12 for the nationally ranked charter school.
Located at 690 Birmingham Street in St. Paul, the site is a former location of concrete manufacturer Cemstone. Extensive remediation was required to prepare the site, including the demolition of an abandon plant and concrete debris removal.
The two-story building will hold 28 classrooms, a media center, gymnasium space and activity rooms. The school has planned for continued growing enrollment, with capacity for 620 students.
“We’ve brought this project to life by adeptly planning for the future”, stated Betsy Lueth, Twin Cities Academy executive director. “It’s been an amazing journey to a new site for Twin Cities Academy.”
In addition to RJM, the project team includes Kodet Architectural Group, Dougherty Financial, Cemstone and the City of St. Paul.
