Summer facility use update – Building A Better Future construction

Osseo Area Schools’ operations team is coordinating Building A Better Future construction plans to ensure timelines are met and buildings are ready for students and staff at the start of the 2026-27 school year. Final summer construction schedules and timelines were confirmed this week. With plans now set, we can provide clearer guidance for facility rentals during the summer months.

What to expect this summer

Summer construction will impact some district buildings for community individuals or groups seeking space for events. In alignment with district facility use policies, school and district programming will remain the first priority to ensure uninterrupted services for students. Some school buildings will be closed to community use from June 1 to Aug. 31, 2026, for Priority 2, 3, and 4 permits.

Buildings closed to community use:

• The former Crest View Elementary School: A newly rebuilt site in Brooklyn Park is tentatively set to open Sept. 2027. 
• Brooklyn Middle School 
• Edinbrook Elementary School
• Fernbrook Elementary School 
• Maple Grove Middle School
• Maple Grove Senior High School 
  • Indoors closed.
  • Outdoors: Limited access to stadium and tennis courts, no grass field use.

Osseo Area Schools recognizes that today’s update about summer building closures due to Building A Better Future construction operations can create short-term challenges for community individuals or groups needing space. Our facilities scheduling team is committed to being a creative and supportive resource to individuals or community groups who are impacted. This includes identifying alternate dates, suggesting alternate district facilities and sharing other community-based resources that may meet needs.
