Kimball Multi-Sport Center
The Rundown
The Kimball High School in Kimball, Minnesota, had a growing, immediate need to expand their industrial arts program classroom. The industrial arts program teaches students real-world skills and introduces kids to welding and woodworking. The school also needed more gym space for wrestling practice, conditioning for the track and football teams, and community education classes. After examining options for adding space, the school and community agreed on a plan to add a multi-sport fabric structure onto the existing gymnasium, which would allow the industrial arts area to expand into existing space.

Testimonials
The set up was ideal.
With this Legacy design, we were able to save money and space by integrating a wash bay into the storage structure. The setup we use is also ideal for eliminating environmental concerns, since all the salt-laden water is contained instead of running off.
Legacy Building Solutions has given Solar Ship more than just a state-of-the-art hangar and assembly building.
Through our close collaboration, their design incorporates a self-reliant photovoltaic power package that sits above the fabric roof, allowing our building operations to be entirely off-grid. In addition, Legacy’s foundation design allowed us to re-use an existing concrete pad, saving us time and money during construction. These innovations were part of our top-level requirements, and delivering on them really sets Legacy apart from the traditional building segment.
Legacy has superior installation value.
Having designed the mechanical and electrical systems, as well as structural foundations for these types of buildings, we find that a Legacy fabric structure has superior insulation value compared to a pre-engineered metal structure with the same ‘R’ value of insulation.
