Link
At the heart of St. Louis Park High School lies an abandoned courtyard, soon to be reborn as a dynamic three-story learning environment known as the Link. This undertaking will seamlessly integrate with existing structures, offering multiple access points and providing students with learning spaces, breakout rooms, and an open environment conducive to collaboration.
Classroom Renovations 
The classroom spaces at St. Louis High School are undergoing a comprehensive makeover. Phase 1, encompassing High School 3rd Floor Unit B and C classrooms and corridors, was recently completed. The rejuvenation process included new paint, carpet, wall tile, ceiling tile, markerboards, furniture, and various other improvements to create a more conducive learning environment for students. Phase 2 is slated for completion over the 2024 summer break, promising similar enhancements.

Media Center
The Media Center is also in the spotlight, undergoing upgrades to provide students with a modern and technology-rich space for research, study, and creative exploration. This includes sliding glass walls to allow for open environment collaboration, as well as breakout rooms to allow for individual or group work.
Storm Shelter
To accommodate building additions and student population, the basement is being transformed into a storm shelter. This critical project involves the installation of precast concrete wall and ceiling panels to fortify the basement, creating a secure shelter.
Parking Lots and Eco-conscious Planting
In a commitment to both safety and sustainability, new parking lots and a bus carrels lot are being constructed to alleviate congestion on nearby streets, ensuring the safety of students and drivers. The school is taking an eco-conscious approach by planting 183 new trees, 341 shrubs, and 1,010 perennials, transforming the campus into a greener and more environmentally friendly space.

Student athletes and staff will delight in the rejuvenation of the track and field facilities. The existing track was reclaimed using advanced methods, with soil excavation and the installation of an underground infiltration liner to manage rainwater effectively. The installation of new turf and track is well underway, with an expected completion date of November 30th.

One of the project's highlights is the extensive expansion of the school's cafeteria. The existing cafeteria was removed to make way for a more spacious area, extending toward West 33rd Street. This expansion ensures ample room for all students and introduces a new outdoor patio space, offering a refreshing environment for students to enjoy the outdoors.
