Grand Rapids got its name from the 3-mile-long rapids along the Mississippi River, which was the farthest point steamboats could travel in the latter part of the 19th century.

The Mississippi River flows through Grand Rapids with Lake Superior to the east.

Grand Rapids is 178 miles north of Minneapolis and is connected via U.S. Route 169.

East Rapids Elementary School Pavillion

East Rapids Elementary School is a school in Grand Rapids, Minnesota that is part of the Independent School District 318.

The principal of East Rapids Elementary School contacted us to provide the design and supply of a school pavilion for an outdoor recreational area at the school. The purchasing customer for this project was Independent School District 318.

This is a first-time customer, and they wanted to have the building delivered quickly, so this was a faster moving project. It is a Model 3010, so we were able to complete the quick turnaround and meet their timeline for installation before the winter.

The pavilion features a metal roof, resawn timber columns, resawn timber truss, a concrete walkway, and a resawn timber knee brace. This pavilion creates a shaded space in the school’s recreational area while also providing an aesthetically pleasing structure that fits into the surrounding fields.

TNT Construction Group LLC was the installation contractor on behalf of School District 318. TNT Construction provides high quality general construction services. Specializing in industrial, commercial, municipal, and government projects based in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

Romtec worked with TNT Construction on the Pokegama Log Pavilion project that is also in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

East Rapids Elementary School Pavillion

Romtec was proud to partner with School District 318 for this pavilion project at East Rapids Elementary School in their recreational area. In partnership with TNT Construction, this new pavilion is a great addition to the school for picnics, shade, and a place to watch games or events.

Romtec designs, supplies, and builds pavilions of various styles and types for parks, schools, and municipalities all over the U.S.

Our team of experts creates a unique design to meet the needs of the location, to provide maximum value to the place, the project, and the people it serves.

We create pavilions that can match other buildings or blend in with similar structures in the surroundings. This is a common occurrence as customers often look for similar aesthetics when it comes to these structures in public places.

Romtec also designs and supplies restroom buildings for parks, pools, trailheads, campgrounds, and other recreational spaces across the country. We even design restrooms with a roof extension that acts as a covered picnic area, like a pavilion attached to the restroom building.

That Memorial Park Project is one of our favorites too – it truly made a positive impact for our visitors, and we will continue to keep Romtec in mind as opportunities to collaborate come up!

I have to mention that aside from the products Romtec supplies and the workmanship of the subcontractors (Ken and crew), I’m also very impressed with your responsiveness to issues – you’re a far cry from the usual taillight warranty.

You get what you pay for. Romtec provided the most perfect, seamless, flawless project I could have imagined. I would use Romtec 100 times over and will not consider any other options moving forward. You were able to beat my original budget and expectations. Everyone involved was great from sales to construction management, to the construction team themselves.

We were very impressed with Romtec on this project. The entire team was professional, forward thinking, wiling to collaborate and compromise, and the structure turned out beautiful. We definitely got what we paid for (and then some!).

Ken Perry’s crew who installed it did a fantastic job, very organized and professional, and efficient install.

If I were to do this again, I would no doubt hire Romtec and its subcontractors to do the installation. Hindsight is always 20/20 and I learned a valuable lesson that I will hire Romtec’s certified installers to do the construction.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Dan Keagy (Romtec’s assistant construction manager). He in my opinion went above and beyond to solve our problems and problems that were not necessarily his or Romtec’s to solve. He is a great guy and great resource for Romtec. Overall, the biggest thing to me was the service after the sale. Romtec didn’t just make the sale and move on, but they supported us through a very long and arduous construction process.

Romtec was phenomenal when it came to service after the sale. They were available anytime there were questions. In addition, there were some issues with missing materials. Even though it was not Romtec’s fault for the missing materials, the were more than willing to send us the missing materials to get the project done. Romtec even sent out a representative to tour the site to give firsthand recommendations on how to proceed.
