Moorhead Public Schools
Horizon Middle School
Moorhead, Minnesota
Project Description:
Obernel partnered with Zerr Berg Architects to provide mechanical engineering for the nearly 200,000 square foot addition to Horizon Middle School in Moorhead, Minn.
Following approval of the $78.2 million bond referendum on Nov. 3, 2015, Moorhead Area Public Schools began the next steps in implementing the district’s facilities master plan. Both the grades 5-6 school connected to Horizon Middle School and the new K-4 elementary school opened in the fall of 2017.
Design for this project included classroom wings, an office area, a commons area/cafeteria, a two-stall gymnasium, serving kitchen and dish room (no cooking equipment), music suite, art suite, an 800-person auditorium and stage, auditorium lobby area, small office remodel in an existing building, and a small secure entry addition to the existing building.
