Bruce Vento Named Finalist for Minnesota Real Estate Project Award

Bruce Vento Elementary was named a finalist in the Education & Daycare - Urban category in the 2026 Minnesota Real Estate Journal Awards. The new school, which welcomed students and staff for the 2025-26 school year, was the district's first newly constructed building in nearly a decade. The project features geothermal heating and cooling, solar power and stormwater management systems, a secure entrance, daylit classrooms and community spaces, an early childhood wing and a storm shelter, among other modern design features. New playgrounds will be installed where the old building was located.

RJM Construction and Cuningham were the construction and design partners on the project. Congratulations to the SPPS Facilities team for this much deserved recognition!
