The Krueger Group’s longstanding partnership with Ruffing Montessori School spans over three decades, and encompasses more than 20,000 square feet of additions, over 30,000 square feet of renovations, the installation of a 2,250-square-yard synthetic turf baseball field, and a 750-square-yard learning garden.

In 2020, the school embarked on its largest project to date, adding a 7,500+ square-foot second story and renovating more than 15,500 square feet of the existing building. This long-awaited enhancement brought the school’s facilities up to the standards of its educational mission. The full scope of work included:

  • Installation of radiant-heated concrete entry sidewalks.
  • Expansion and renovation of the main entry vestibule and corridor.
  • Creation of a new learning kitchen classroom.
  • Installation of a LULA elevator, providing access to all three floors of the school.
  • A monumental staircase flooded with natural light, connecting the first and second floors.
  • Construction of five new classrooms and a library on the second floor.

Additional renovations included:

  • The transformation of one existing first-floor classroom into two separate classrooms.
  • The consolidation of two classrooms into a single, larger music classroom on the first floor.
  • Construction of two new upper-elementary classrooms, as well as an office and material room, on the first floor.
  • Renovation of an existing classroom on the second floor.
