When the St. Joan of Arc School moved into an existing three-story building, they thought the first two stories would satisfy their needs for several years. But as enrollment skyrocketed, it became clear more space was needed — and quickly. That’s when they brought on Horst Construction for the building’s third-floor renovation. Broken into two phases, the project transformed the space into a modern learning environment that facilitates the excellent education for which the school has become known.
