W. L. Hall Company Modernfold Acousti-Seal 933E Woodland Elementary (Osseo School District) 2022 Project Spotlight
The Osseo School District contacted W.L. Hall Company to replace the electric wall for Woodland Elementary School's gymnasium in Brooklyn Park, MN.
The projects W. L. Hall Company completes for the school district are "Turn-Key" projects, meaning the school does not have to provide anything other than access to the space. We provide the demolition, dumpsters, lifts, and of course - a new electrically operated wall.
In our opinion, the Modernfold Acousti-Seal 933E operable wall provided the perfect solution for Woodland Elementary for several reasons:
- The 933E allows for easy and seamless movement of the panels, enabling staff to reconfigure and divide the space to meet changing needs quickly.
- Its noise-blocking design helps to create a quieter environment, with sound seals along each panel's vertical edges minimizing sound transmission.
- The wall's customizable design blends seamlessly with the gymnasium's decor and style, creating a visually appealing space.
- Its space-saving capabilities allow the gymnasium to be divided into smaller areas, providing greater functionality and versatility for multiple simultaneous activities.
- The 933E is durable and built to last, capable of withstanding heavy use and maintaining its excellent condition for years.
We customized our installation approach to align with the existing structure. Our team strategically positioned the new track and panels in their designated locations while making essential adjustments to the existing soffit to ensure seamless integration with our system.
The Modernfold 933E wall was installed within the projected time frame and budget. As a result, Woodland Elementary's gymnasium can now be transformed effortlessly in a matter of minutes, allowing for optimal use of the limited space while effectively controlling acoustics.

Here is a look at a current healthcare project we are actively working on, showcasing our expertise in complex glazing, interior systems, and construction coordination—the CentraCare Plaza Expansion in St. Cloud, Minnesota. We are collaborating closely with RSP Architects (Minneapolis) and McGough Construction (St. Paul) to help bring the CentraCare Plaza Expansion design to life. From the outset, their project teams carefully factored the complex functional and operational requirements of expanded outpatient and specialty care into the overall design, ensuring each building system supports both architectural intent and long-term performance.
For the executive conference room hallway at Boston Scientific Arden Hills, (Building 5, Floor 3) RSP Architects (Minneapolis) and Cobeck Construction (St. Paul) project teams established clear priorities from the outset: to create a visually striking, polished ceiling experience appropriate for a high-visibility executive corridor, while also providing effective acoustic sound absorption to control noise transfer from the adjacent conference room. We worked closely with the RSP and Cobeck project teams to bring their design goals to life through a refined, high-performing ceiling solution.
We are pleased to highlight two recently completed ZONA® LYNX telescoping glass wall projects, each tailored to the specific functional demands of its space. Working closely with the architects involved, we helped bring each project's design vision to reality, delivering precision ZONA installations that support flexibility, transparency, and long-term performance across both professional office and high-traffic environments. Both projects feature 3/8" clear laminated glass with a clear anodized finish, providing a consistent balance of durability, safety, and refined aesthetics. Below is a brief overview of each project and the unique advantages the ZONA LYNX system brings to each application.
We are fortunate to be engaged in a wide range of projects across the Upper Midwest at any given time—each one highlighting the diversity of systems and solutions we provide. Today, we’re pleased to spotlight one of the major glazing projects we are currently involved in: the Boston Scientific – Weaver Lake 4 Expansion. We are proud to be actively progressing on this expansion, delivering advanced glass and glazing solutions for a project that continues to elevate one of Minnesota's most impactful medical device campuses. Collaborating with HGA Architects (Minneapolis) and Ryan Companies Construction (Minneapolis), our team is helping turn their design intent into a fully engineered, constructable glazing system—one that delivers long-term performance, clean aesthetics, and exceptional durability for Boston Scientific.
Most building professionals know that air leakage is one of the biggest performance failures in commercial buildings. What is less understood is this: Air leakage doesn't move in only one direction. It can move inward (infiltration) or outward (exfiltration) — and each direction carries its own set of energy, comfort, and moisture-control consequences. Even worse, rolling doors have historically been among the weakest points of the building envelope.
Daylighting, Durability & Performance: Why the Thief River Falls Regional Airport Chose Kalwall
We truly enjoyed working with HCM Architects (Minneapolis), TKDA Architects (Bloomington), Knutson Construction (Minneapolis), and McGough (St. Paul), who brought four new Xcel Energy service facilities — in Chanhassen, Onalaska (WI), St. Cloud, and St. Paul–Maplewood. We helped bring their design visions to life with Kalwall’s advanced translucent daylighting systems, which elevate energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and thermal performance.

We were pleased to collaborate with Mohagen Hansen Architecture (Wayzata, MN) and Gardner Builders (Minneapolis) to bring their design vision for Agralite Electric Cooperative’s new 63,000-square-foot headquarters in Benson, MN, to life—featuring the innovative use of Kalwall® daylighting systems in both the office space and the warehouse.
