The expansive, 317,000-square-foot, Owatonna High School opened its doors to its first students this fall after a three-year, $126 million construction project. Designed to accommodate 1,600 students with ample space for future growth, the school sits on an 88-acre campus. Beyond academic areas, the school also features new athletic facilities and practice fields. Wenger Corporation joined with other Owatonna businesses and organizations in making this new school possible.

Durable AirPro® lockers, with their space-saving design, were installed in the team rooms. These lockers provide individual student-athletes with enhanced sanitation, security, and organization. Integrated seating and Owatonna Husky blue locker colors evoke school pride regardless of the sports team utilizing the space.

In the school’s athletic storage facility, GearBoss® X-Carts™ maximize space by sliding together and apart, creating a smart system that protects equipment and provides multi-sport organization. Anchoring both sides of the storage rooms is GearBoss Shelving. This shelving system was configured to the specific needs of OHS to ensure they had maximum storage space in each room.

“The contributions from Wenger were a blessing to our overall school project,” said Marc Achterkirch, OHS Activities Director. “It allowed us to install the best quality product on the market in our varsity locker rooms and storage areas. Our kids love them, our coaches love them, and they will last for many years to come.”

“We now feel like a true campus,” Kath said. “Every corner of our facility and everything that we do is about student learning, engagement, and connection. We are giving these students opportunities to live their passions.”
