Successful projects are built on strong partnerships, thoughtful design, and effective teamwork. For the Dakota County Burnhaven Library Renovation, Senior Project Manager Deb Aldrich played a key role in helping the project team navigate challenges, coordinate countless moving pieces, and keep the project focused on the needs of Dakota County and the community it serves.
With more than three decades of construction experience, Deb has built a career delivering successful projects for both public and private clients. Her portfolio includes municipal facilities, county government buildings, community spaces, educational environments, and library renovations, giving her a deep understanding of the unique needs and expectations of public-sector work.
At the Burnhaven Library, Deb serves as the project manager leading the effort to transform the existing 26,000 SF facility into a modern, accessible destination for Dakota County residents. The renovation includes comprehensive interior upgrades, improved accessibility, improved building systems, and thoughtfully reconfigured spaces that will better support learning and technology, community programming, and evolving needs for years to come.
Throughout the project, Deb is providing steady leadership and oversight, coordinating with Dakota County, HGA Architects, trade partners, and the Stahl team to keep the work moving forward safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.
What sets Deb apart is her ability to balance the big picture with the day-to-day details that drive successful outcomes. Whether managing budgets, evaluating project risks, coordinating construction activities, or working through unforeseen challenges, she brings a commitment to finding practical solutions, not only for the Burnhaven Library, but for every project she delivers.
