Carleton’s Arts Union, Other Northfield Building Projects Mentioned in Star Tribune
Carleton’s $40 million renovation of the former Northfield Middle/High School into its Arts Union facility, along with two other large-scale Northfield construction projects, was mentioned in the Dec. 21 edition of the Star Tribune. The three projects–Carleton’s Arts Union, St. Olaf College’s $22 million renovation of the newly-named Thomson Hall, and the Mayo Clinic’s $10 million oncology clinic–have boosted the construction businesses in the area. Northfield Mayor Mary Rossing said the college building renovations are significant “economically and historically in our town.” St. Olaf, with 805 employees, and Carleton, with 650, are the city’s second- and third-largest employers after Malt-O-Meal, she noted.
