LeJeune Steel teamed up with Opus to work on
the Medtronic CRM South Building.
LeJeune’s ability to commit
to an aggressive 16 week schedule
was key to securing the job.
This office building stands
8 stories tall in the new, Medtronic
Cardiac Rhythm Management facility
expansion in Mounds View, Minnesota.
The Mounds View facility marks
the second major expansion project
in the past five years for Medtronic.
