Elkhorn High School Stadium Project

School is out for summer, but that doesn’t mean things are quiet on the Elkhorn High School campus. Prairie Construction broke ground on a stadium expansion project at the high school located at 1401 Veteran Drive in Elkhorn, NE.

The 4,400 square-foot athletic team building will include training rooms, locker rooms, restrooms and concessions. The team building will be an upgrade to the current facilities, and the home and visiting teams will appreciate the new accommodations before, during and after games. Brand new locker rooms and a training facility will be popular with the Antlers, and the visiting teams!

Fans and visitors to the stadium will enjoy the updated restrooms and concessions area, as well the addition of grandstands on the east side of the football field. And everyone visiting the stadium will appreciate the expanded parking area, which is included in the project.

The project is underway – but there is a strict deadline. Football season will be here before you know it – and we are looking forward to an Antlers winning season!

Expansion Project at Blue Sage Elementary

It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were busy building Blue Sage Elementary, a brand-new elementary school in the Elkhorn Public Schools District. It actually wasn’t that long ago – we completed construction on the 11th elementary school in the Elkhorn district in time to welcome students for the 2018/19 school year. We have already returned to the school for an expansion project.

This summer, we are back at Blue Sage Elementary School for an expansion project that will house an early education department for the school. The 8,400 square-foot addition will be the home of the preschool program for the school and will include two classrooms, flex rooms, restrooms and office space. The project will be completed in March 2020, and a new class of students will fill the rooms in the fall of 2020.

The expansion project is in response to the population boom in the Elkhorn community, one of the fastest growing communities in Omaha. At Prairie Construction, we love building schools – and we have built a lot of them! We are excited about the opportunity to return to one of our school buildings and contribute to its growth and expansion.
