STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) — A new 32-million-dollar business building in Stevens Point is on schedule for a March opening.
Groundbreaking was held October 10th, 2014 for a new four-story 180,000-square-foot building for school management software developer Skyward. Now, the outside of the structure looks nearly complete. Skyward CEO Cliff King says it may look done, but there’s still a lot of work going on inside the building.”They still have quite a few workers that are out there working on everything inside to get it ready to go for us to move in in March of this year.”
While the building project is going up on the east side of I-39, King says business is still growing in their two buildings on the west side of the freeway. “We’re just closing out the year from 2015, and when you look at the students that we have, I think we’re just over six million students and over two thousand school districts throughout the world that use our products.”
Skyward has over 450 employees in their existing two Stevens Point buildings, which will all move to the new site in March. The 33-year-old business anticipates further growth, so they acquired 43 acres in the Portage County Business Park… which is enough room to build another identical building later, if necessary.
Miron Construction is the general contractor for the project.
