Molin Concrete is currently in the installation phase of the new Chanhassen High School in Chaska, MN. The school, which is due to open in the Fall of 2009, will serve 2,000 students. The project, once completed, will be over 405,000 Sq. Ft. in size. Precast Concrete, a popular structural choice for education facilities, helped fit the budget for the project, and was critical in allowing construction during the much cooler winter of 2008. In addition to the over 170,000 sq. ft. of hollow core decking, Molin also supplied structural wall panels for the project. These large structural wall panels help to form the new auditorium for the school and will eventually be finished off with a brick facade. In the mean time, they will serve as a shell for the building during winter construction. Precast stadia pieces were also utilized to provide "stadium style" seating for some of the classrooms. Once completed, the students will take pride in their school for years to come.
