The project also included repurposing existing cabinetry by upgrading the tops and changing some design elements which we coordinated. The building was completely re-wired for data to all the offices and each workstation, all terminating at the new computer server room. Electronic swipe card security was added to entrance doors and a security camera system covering the office areas and exterior were also installed.
Flooring
"We’re honored RUSD chose us to help them improve their energy efficiency as well as several other renovations such as a new board room (shown above) and new floors. We installed 38,000 square feet of vinyl tile flooring at Park, Horlick, Jerstad-Agerholm, Schulte, Mitchell, Red Apple and Starbuck. Racine Unified School District contracted with Katt Construction Corporation on renovations to a number of the school districts’ properties during our off season. Not only did Katt fulfill our need as the Owner Representative to complete the upgrades to the HVAC systems, weatherization of doors, replacement of windows, water conservation and electrical upgrades. Katt also renovated our board room, science rooms and installed new floors. I can always count on their crews to provide us with the expertise and sense of urgency needed to get the job done."

Masonry
Echo Lake Foods is a frozen food manufacturer established in 1941. Echo Lake is always looking to the future. This -25 degree freezer and 40 degree cooler was built by Katt Construction utilizing a pre-engineered steel frame and 6″ insulated wall panels. Katt received the Customer of the year award from Foremost Building Systems for this project in 2007. What made this project interesting was the close proximity to the existing freezer. In order to meet state fire codes a tricky combination of masonry firewalls and Thermal safe wall panels was utilized.
Electrical Work
The electrical work included updated lighting in parts of the great room, additional outlets for copiers, wiring power to cubicle systems, power and lighting for a new computer server room as well as moving switches etc. to accommodate the new layout of the work spaces.
