We continue to make progress on the construction of the new middle school for the Elkhorn Public Schools.
Elkhorn North Ridge Middle School will welcome its first students through its doors in less than a month. Here’s a unique look at the progress!
Elkhorn North Ridge is located at 183rd & Ida St. and will accommodate the continued growth in the fifth largest school district in the state.

Prairie Construction attended a dedication of the Robert B. Sturm Welcome Center at Westside High School last week.
We broke ground on the construction of the new student entrance at Westside High School. The project included a glass-enclosed vestibule and reception area designed to streamline student entrance and provide added security features to the main entrance of the school.
The welcome center is named for Westside alum and well-respected philanthropist Robert Sturm, who was a major donor for the project.
The space, which was officially dedicated last week, has already welcomed hundreds of Westside students since the 2020/21 school year began in August.
At Prairie Construction, no job is too big or too small. We’ve done everything from a 10,000 square-foot renovation to new construction builds measuring well over 100,000 square feet.
Over the last several years, we have completed several school projects – renovations, brand new buildings for those looking to start a school of their own and building additions. Arbor View Elementary and Blue Sage Elementary, both in Elkhorn, are among new school buildings we have recently completed, and we are currently finishing Oakdale Elementary, a new District 66 School. We added a concession building at Lewis Central, and have completed numerous project at VJ Skutt Catholic High School. There are generally a few renovations that are common in most projects, like the renovation of the commons area, wrestling building, parking lot expansion (with new parking signage), weight room renovation, soccer field, and football stadium seating expansion.
School projects are unique because we are usually working while school is in session. Sticking to a strict construction schedule, and having flexibility to accommodate a constantly-changing school schedule, are crucial. Our experience with school projects gives us the confidence needed to complete each project on schedule and budget. Our goal with every school project is to create a safe and efficient space for children to learn and develop.
We understand the concepts behind well-designed school buildings. Tight schedules and efficient traffic flow are essential to a successful school day, and we can anticipate issues and facilitate effective designs while staying on schedule.
“Prairie’s professionalism, teamwork and get-it-done mentality has impressed the Elkhorn Public Schools district,” said Ryan Lindquist, Elkhorn Public Schools. “Our projects with Prairie have always been completed on time and within budget.”
When it comes to schools, nothing is more important than the safety of students, and this is an area where we excel. Children spend several hours a day in a school building, and nothing is more important than creating a safe environment where they can learn, grow and be happy.
We are proud to be involved in building the future for the kids in our community. Contact us to learn more about our school projects.

ELKHORN, Neb. —
It’s been seven months since an Elkhorn parish lost two boys in the same week.
Sunday, parishioners had the opportunity to check out the multimillion-dollar activity center that is under construction and to be named after Lane Graves, 2, and Aspen Seemann, 3. Lane died when an alligator dragged him into a lagoon behind a Disney World Hotel in Orlando. Aspen was pulled from West Shores Lake in Waterloo and died days later.
