Reimagining Northfield High School

On November 5, 2024, Northfield School District voters approved all three ballot questions:

A 120,000-square-foot multi-story classroom addition.
Demolition of the D, H, M and S wings (102,000 square feet.)
Renovating the remaining 168,559 square feet.
An expanded gymnasium addition large enough for four full-size basketball courts and an indoor walking track.
A new HVAC system powered by geothermal technology.

Wold Architects and Engineers. Sal Bagley, lead architect.
Knutson Construction. Josh Cooper, lead construction manager.
Wold and Knutson were the district’s partners for the 2018 bond projects that included the new Greenvale Park Elementary School and additions/renovations at Bridgewater, the district offices (formerly Longfellow), Northfield Community Education Center (the former Greenvale Park building), and Spring Creek.
The 2018 projects were completed for $2 million less than projected and finished on time despite 60% of the project schedule occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The core planning team met on Dec. 17, 2024. Their remaining meetings were held in 2025 on Jan. 8, 29; Feb. 19, 26; March 12; April 2 and 16. The core planning team toured other high school facilities on Jan. 21.
The athletics subcommittee met on Feb. 26; March 12; April 2 and 16. The athletics subcommittee toured other high school athletic facilities on Jan. 22.
User groups are currently meeting to help further develop the building design.
The school board received an update from Wold at the May 12, 2025 board meeting. You can view video of that presentation here. A copy of the slideshow shown in the presentation can be viewed here.
