Superior High School Addition & Renovation

Hunt Electric executed the complete electrical buildout for the Superior High School addition and renovation project in Superior, Wisconsin. The scope included a 200,000 square foot addition and a 140,000 square foot renovation, transforming the campus to support modern educational needs.

The project added a new three story academic wing and upgraded key campus facilities, including a gymnasium, pool, media center, performing arts center, administrative offices, commons area, and cafeteria. This large scale effort required extensive coordination to deliver modern systems while maintaining a safe and functional learning environment.

Executing a major addition and renovation within an active school environment required detailed planning and phased execution. Hunt Electric worked closely with project partners to sequence work around the academic calendar, balancing construction progress with student and staff safety.

The project also involved the demolition and replacement of aging infrastructure, allowing the school to transition to a fully modernized electrical system designed for long term performance and flexibility.

Hunt Electric delivered a comprehensive electrical scope across both the addition and renovation, including:

• Complete electrical buildout for the new addition

• Electrical demolition and replacement for renovated areas

• Utility service and electrical distribution systems

• Emergency power systems including generator, ATS, and UPS

• Networked lighting controls and wiring devices

• HVAC power and electrical integration
