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 […]
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 […]

Prairie Construction is excited to begin construction on the new Elkhorn Middle School #5 project!

Madison Campus Project in Council Bluffs
One of our current projects is a example of thinking outside the box – or in this case, the box store. Much-needed updates and improvements were approved for both Kirn and Wilson Middle Schools in Council Bluffs, and the school district needed a solution to house students during the renovations. While it doesn’t resemble a traditional school, it turns out […]
Facilities Management Project at Creighton University
We know a lot goes into deciding on the right contractor for a project, and every time we start a new project, we consider the trust the client has put in our team. That was especially true as we made plans to start the new Facilities Management Office for the facilities crew at Creighton. We have done several projects on […]

The students, faculty and staff of Skutt Catholic High School […]
Commit to Your Construction Project in 2019
January is typically the time of year when people commit to getting organized – clearing the house of unnecessary items, organizing files and offices, and creating a budget for the year ahead. The team at Prairie Construction thinks this is a great time to plan for that construction or remodel project you have been considering. A construction project of any […]

Omaha Fire Station #43
Last summer, a fire started at station #43 of the Omaha Fire Department. It may seem ironic, but it goes to show that anyone is susceptible to an accidental fire – even firefighters. The fire started in the kitchen while most of the fire crew was out on an emergency, and it caused significant damage to the kitchen and living […]

Haddix earned a master’s degree in math from Creighton and was a professor at the university from 1969-1971. He has donated to other schools he attended, including to […]
