Company:

Award:
EAGLE
Project:
Elgin Schools
The Elgin School District passed a $36.9 million bond for upgrades to its middle school and high school. Willmar Electric Service was awarded the electrical installation of the new 29, 000 square foot Performing Arts Center, as well as safe room additions to both the middle and high school. The safe room additions were a part of a larger FEMA initiative to provide school districts with funds to ensure the safety of students and faculty during sever weather such as a tornado. The Performing Arts Center space included a lobby, an auditorium with a stage, dressing rooms, bathrooms, a control room, and the capacity to seat 1350 people. To meet the requirements of the project, Willmar Electric Service used 21 different types of lighting fixtures, with one being a 32 foot x 13 foot specially made Treble Clef for the lobby. Willmar Electric Service was able to make continue adjustments to meet the customer’s needs, used thinking outside-of-the-box thinking when hanging “sky” high light fixtures, and worked around in-school sessions to help provide a quality product to Elgin Schools. This in turn helped Elgin Schools to strive toward their goal – “to prepare students for the future, while providing a safe learning environment in which our students can succeed.”
