Framing for new addition taking shape at Mankato West High School

MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Progress continues to be made on the improvements at Mankato West High School.

The steel frame of the new office and classroom space on the front of the building is now taking shape. Blocks for the exterior walls expected to start going up this month.

Progress is also being made with roughing in the underground plumbing and electrical.

In the back, for the new gymnasium, the pile installation is complete and crews are working on pile cap and grade beam foundation installation.

Work is also underway to add insulation to existing walls that are now exterior walls.

The construction at Mankato West is funded by a $105 million bond referendum that voters passed in 2023.
