Moose Lake Community School

ARI helped to identify the district’s goals and vision for a new facility by meeting with staff and key community members. Upon completion of the visioning process, needs, space requirements, and the budget for the new Moose Lake Community School were identified.

​

Artistic renderings and visual images of the proposed Moose Lake school were developed and prepared as a tool to educate the community, school staff, students and school board. ARI attended multiple community meetings to receive input on the proposed plans and to confirm that all the needs of building end-users were met.

After the successful referendum campaign and the completion of construction documents, construction of the new facility began in the fall of 2015 with completion in September of 2017.
