St. Marcus gets $460,000 grant for $12 million expansion project

St. Marcus Lutheran Church and School, located at 2215 N. Palmer St. on Milwaukee’s near north side, received a $460,000 grant from the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation for its $12 million expansion project.
So far $7.1 million of the $12 million has been raised.
St. Marcus recently broke ground for the $9.3 million first phase of the expansion project, which will add a 46,080-square-foot education facility, allowing St. Marcus to double the size of enrollment to serve more than 600 students. The school currently has 424 students. The project will also increase church ministry space, including rooms for community outreach.
The $2.7 million second phase of the expansion project will add 12,000 square feet of multi-purpose space for use as a theater, gym and community resource center.
Korb Tredo Architects did the design work and the construction project is led by Catalyst Construction.
