WINDOM, Minn. • The new $22 million Windom Elementary School has been completed.

In May 2018 voters approved a $23.9 million district bond referendum project to prepare students to succeed now and in the future. The school, located at 1200 17th St. in Windom, Minn., is a result of that effort.

Designed by ISG Architects, the project relocated the 4th and 5th grades from the middle school to a new 77,090-square-foot, stand-alone

K-5 elementary school, creating one campus to the existing middle school and high school.

The elementary school alleviates overcrowding, and adds classrooms, flexible learning areas, and safety and security. A music room, art room, media center, student commons and physical education areas were added along with new administration and kitchen areas. In addition, a $2 million remodel of the middle/high school included a 7,000-square-foot precast addition that connects to the existing Ag and Metal shop along the north side of the building. The project also remodeled the existing shop classrooms.
