Kraus-Anderson begins new $40 million elementary school in Le Sueur, Minn.
Kraus-Anderson (KA) has begun construction on a new $40.4 million elementary school for Le Sueur-Henderson Public Schools. In August of 2022, voters approved a $39.9 million referendum to fund the new school.
The new Le Sueur-Henderson Elementary School, located at 901 Ferry St. in Le Sueur, will be built adjacent to the high school.
Designed by ATS&R Planners, Architects and Engineers, the two-story, 113,090-square-foot school serving grades K-5, includes new classrooms, labs, music room, Kid’s Club, cafeteria and administrative offices with a nurse’s area. The building also features safe and secure entry, 30,000-square-foot field house with a three-court gymnasium and locker rooms, and a 6,000-square-foot storm shelter. In addition, the site will include a new parking lot, bus drop-off and two dedicated playground areas.
“The new school will bring 21st century learning and opportunities to the next generation of Le Sueur and Henderson area students,” said Shane Butler, KA’s senior project manager.
Construction is expected to be completed in August of 2024.
