ROCHESTER, Minn. — Knutson Construction’s Byron Pre K-2 school project is 20 percent complete and is on track to be finished by June 2016. The new Byron, Minnesota school will be 100,000 square feet and includes over 30 classrooms, a kitchen, cafeteria and a gymnasium.
The new building will house pre-kindergarten through second grade students who are currently attending class at the Byron Community Education Center. The inaugural class will have approximately 550 students attending the new school in fall 2016. Since breaking ground, the project has hit 120 consecutive safety days.
The exterior of the gym and cafeteria are almost complete with the roofs being installed. The classroom portion of the building is taking shape as column supports and elevator shaft masonry is nearly complete. The walls and supporting steel work will begin the first part of October.
