2 <br />Since 2023, Lake Elmo Public <br />Works, Lake Elmo Community <br />Development, and our city engineers <br />have met bi-weekly with Stillwater <br />Schools, architects, and project <br />managers to assist with the design <br />and plans for the new Lake Elmo <br />Elementary School. After multiple <br />rounds of feedback from the City, <br />Stillwater Schools staff, students, <br />and residents of Lake Elmo, the <br />design is complete. Development <br />begins on-site in February, with the <br />school scheduled to open in the fall <br />of 2026. <br />The school’s development team <br />aimed to create a theme that reflects the local landscape, which led to the decision to create a 'Prairie <br />Landscape.' <br />The color palette captures the natural environment's essence, featuring soft hues of pale blue, coral, and <br />green, along with trees and flowers throughout the building. <br />We want to continue the rich tradition of community that Lake Elmo Elementary has provided for the last <br />100 years and bring that into the learning spaces we have designed for our students," said Mark <br />Drommerhausen, Executive Director of Operations at Stillwater Schools. <br />"It's all about the kids. Building vibrant classrooms that allow natural daylight, incorporating design elements <br />inspired by the outdoors, and creating spaces for both small and large group learning will provide the best <br />possible environment for the students of Lake Elmo." <br />Look for a groundbreaking ceremony at the new site once the ground has thawed and digging has begun, <br />this spring. <br />MOST RECENT SCHOOL RENDERING <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />Lake Elmo Elementary School plan moves forward
