Project description

St. Louis Park Public Schools received approval for a conditional use permit (CUP) in order to construct a new data center building at 6400 Walker St. The new building will be constructed southeast of the football field and next to an existing maintenance building.

In 2024, the school district applied for a minor amendment to the CUP to allow for the construction of a building/storm shelter underneath the southern bleachers of the high school stadium. The amendment was approved on October 7, 2024, and construction is expected to commence in spring of 2025.
