Findorff’s Great Work in Mayville Makes the News! In April 2017, the Mayville School District successfully passed a $24.5 million facilities referendum. Since then, Findorff and Bray transformed the District’s buildings to provide unique learning opportunities to empower, innovate and transform their learners.

This past weekend, Findorff had the opportunity to help Milwaukee’s Clark Square Neighborhood with cleanup and repair efforts in partnership with Revitalize Milwaukee’s Block Build MKE 2020 initiative. We’re honored to make an impact in our local community!

The board unanimously voted to approve hiring J.H. Findorff and Son of Milwaukee as the general contractor for the new aquatic center adjacent to J.I. Case High School. The 42,000-square-foot indoor aquatic center is set to be constructed just west of the school, 7543 Washington Ave., Mount Pleasant, in what is now a soybean field.

SSM Health announced Tuesday that they have started work on their South Madison Campus project to prepare the area for the start of construction later this month.

One of the final touches to the outside of the new elementary school in Poynette was completed on May 20. The date stone was placed within an exterior wall within the main entrance to the building.

Due to COVID-19 and the inability to host an in-person event, the Sun Prairie Area School District (SPASD) held an intimate, socially distanced groundbreaking on May 13. The construction of West High School will be completed in time for the 2022-23 school year.

Most of the work done so far in relation to the 2019 DeForest Area School District $122 million referendum has involved planning and design. That’s about to change, as the projects transition to the construction phase. The large mound of dirt at the site of the new intermediate school, now named Harvest Intermediate School, is a sign of the switch.

Ashley Field improvements were part of the $169 million referendum that passed in April 2019 and is right on schedule. Originally built in 1953 for football and baseball, Ashley Field was also used for two other Sun Prairie High School athletics, lacrosse and soccer. The new reconfiguration eliminated the baseball field used by the Home Talent League amateur baseball team Sun Prairie Red Birds, and was turned 180 degrees with its end zones now facing north and south rather than east and west.

Findorff says it’s keeping its job sites open for now, but not requiring any employee to come to work. The company is also sharing the CDC guidelines and COVID-19 symptoms, stressing that workers need to stay safe.

Jim Yehle has been named Findorff’s president and CEO and Dave Beck-Engel is its new vice chairman. They will continue to lead Findorff alongside current chairman Rich Lynch.
