Fox Hill Elementary School Electrical Construction

Fox Hill Elementary School was developed to support rapid population growth in Watford City driven by the Bakken oil boom. Between 2010 and 2020, the city experienced a 333 percent increase in population, creating an immediate need for expanded educational facilities.

The new 88,000 square foot school opened in 2020 and serves kindergarten through fifth grade students, with capacity for up to 600 students. Situated on a 30 acre site, the project delivers a modern learning environment designed to meet the needs of a growing community.

The development of Fox Hill Elementary School reflects the broader regional impact of the Bakken oil boom. As Watford City quickly expanded, the demand for educational infrastructure increased significantly.

Hunt Electric supported the delivery of this new facility by providing the electrical infrastructure required for a fully functional and modern school, helping the community respond to rapid population growth with long term educational investment.

Hunt Electric contributed to a wide range of construction and infrastructure elements for the new school, including:

• Site development and infrastructure
• Precast concrete building shell coordination
• Electrical systems as part of full MEP scope
• Interior buildout and finishing systems
