Construction Management

Madelia engaged inBYLT to support long-range planning for the district. Following a comprehensive Facilities Condition Assessment, multiple improvement scenarios were evaluated through a collaborative strategic planning process. Through community engagement meetings and a district-wide survey, inBYLT ultimately developed a two-question referendum concept tailored to the district’s priorities.

The first question focused on renovations at both school buildings, enhancements to Career and Technical Education spaces, reconfiguration of parking lots to improve traffic flow and safety, and building modifications and additions to create secure entrances at both the elementary and secondary schools. The second question proposed the construction of a new competition gymnasium, locker rooms, and a fitness center at the secondary school.

Sabathani Community Center engaged inBYLT to support long-range facility planning and help position this vital community asset for long-term success. Following a comprehensive Facilities Condition Assessment, multiple improvement scenarios were evaluated through a highly collaborative strategic planning process focused not only on building systems, but on how the facility could better serve the community for decades to come.

The final selected scope included installation of a two-well aquifer geothermal system connected to a new central heating and cooling plant, a new building-wide HVAC controls system, LED lighting upgrades, and targeted interior renovations of key public areas. These improvements significantly increased the usability, comfort, and functionality of the facility while reducing operating costs and environmental impact, allowing more resources to be directed toward Sabathani’s mission and community programming.

Just as importantly, the HVAC and central plant investments were designed to support Sabathani’s growing role as a Community Resilience Hub. By providing reliable, high-efficiency heating and cooling, improved ventilation, and modern controls, the facility is better equipped to serve as a safe, healthy refuge during extreme weather events, poor air quality days, or other community emergencies. These infrastructure upgrades enhance the building’s ability to remain operational during times of need, ensuring Sabathani can continue delivering critical services, resources, and gathering space when the community relies on it most. The result is a more welcoming, efficient, and resilient facility that strengthens Sabathani’s role as a cornerstone resource for the community.

inBYLT supervised the construction of the Brooklyn Park police station and public works building. We worked with the City in devising strategies for the completion of work in an active facility. This endeavour involved the remodel and expansion of essential facilities designed to accommodate both personnel and equipment including staff offices, meeting rooms, holding cells, a vehicle bay, and maintenance facilities. inBYLT worked with the City to also incorporate energy-efficient and renewable upgrades into the design of the project.

This project encompassed the renovation of the existing Forest Lake Sports Center and the addition of a new 20,000 sq ft ice rink. We also designed and upgraded the HVAC system in the district's natatorium. Alongside construction, the district pursued energy efficiency improvements, which included an LED lighting retrofit and the installation of over 2 megawatts of solar energy across six different district buildings.

inBYLT successfully completed the renovation of the Government Center and Environmental Services Center, along with the new construction of a Public Works facility. The Government Center renovation included a full HVAC replacement and interior upgrades to enhance functionality and energy efficiency. The Environmental Services Center received mechanical system improvements and renovations to restrooms, office space, and storage areas, creating a more modern and efficient workspace.

inBYLT was commissioned to develop a strategic long-term plan for the District, starting with a Facility Assessment and Master Plan. The assessment pinpointed urgent needs, leading to immediate actions like replacing the High School's boilers and water main. Subsequent priority projects included renovations of existing facilities, building additions, safety and security measures, site improvements, and new athletic facilities.

inBYLT was commissioned by the District to spearhead a visionary long-range strategic plan, where we designed and managed the critical replacement of the High School boiler plant and HVAC systems at both the Middle and High Schools. In addition, inBYLT's scope included innovative enhancements like dehumidification systems, setting the stage for future educational space repurposing, security enhancements, renovations to the district office and athletic facility improvements.

The Riverview Ice House project included the design and renovation of the entire facility. inBYLT replaced two ice rink floors, installed a new ammonia refrigeration system, and renovated the lobby and locker rooms. This was a Design-Build project, with inBYLT overseeing all design, site construction activities, site safety, quality assurance, project administration, and startup; delivering a turnkey project.

This project focused on the renovation of Keller Hall, focusing on enhancing learning environments within the labs and dentistry school, alongside critical upgrades to the fire and life safety systems. These improvements not only modernized the educational facilities but also ensured a safer environment for students and staff, aligning with the latest safety standards in educational infrastructure.
