Mapleton Elementary and High School

McKenzie Commercial, once again, puts their many years of experience with CM/GC projects to work.
Before construction got underway, McKenzie Commercial helped implement almost $400,000 in value-engineering savings.
McKenzie Commercial has phased this project in accordance with the school year to keep the building occupied and preserve the school activities. This multi-phase project provides interior and exterior renovations, siding replacement, MEP upgrades, seismic and ADA accessibility improvements.
Working with the schools, McKenzie Commercial has ensured no impact to the school campus community by mitigating dust, fumes, and noise, and scheduling deliveries around school activities.
"It was an easy decision to hire McKenzie Commercial to oversee our $11 million bond renovation and seismic upgrade project on Mapleton High School and Mapleton Elementary School. Right from the start, Jim Mender understood our small, rural community and the need to preserve as much of the "history" of our building and facility as possible. Jim and his crew had a wealth of construction knowledge that enabled our projects to be completed on time and under budget. Their ability to foresee issues and plan accordingly, as well as their ability to adjust quickly to unforeseen events, is commendable. Jim and his crew attended several Mapleton sporting events and even attended our Open House to celebrate the "reopening" of our newly remodeled school. That kind of personal commitment is hard to find and it's refreshing to see!"
- Jodi O'Mara, Superintendent, Mapleton School District
