Governor Kristi Noem, center, cut the ribbon for the new South Dakota National Guard's Army Aviation Readiness Center on Friday at Rapid City Regional Airport.
The $20 million, 57,000 square foot building features training classrooms, administrative offices, equipment and supply storage and vehicle maintenance bay. The new facility will house over 150 soldiers from eight aviation units and will enhance unit training and readiness requirement for decades to come.
We are excited to start the weekend off by introducing Brad Olson! Brad started out as a carpenter and worked his way up to a Building Superintendent and we are so glad he is part of the RCS Construction team.
We are proud to announce that we have won the Best Local Contractor and Best Concrete Company by Rapid City Journal and Best Rapid City Contractor by Best Contractor Awards. We have amazing people here, and we look forward to working on your next project. Thank you to every client and our employees who have voted for us to win these awards.
RCS Construction is honored to announce it has been named as one of Prairie Business Magazine’s 50 Best Places to Work for the second consecutive year.
Employees nominate their organization with anonymous satisfaction surveys and the magazine uses the survey results to recognize the 50 best. Topics in the survey include employer benefits, workplace culture and employee morale. This year, there were nearly 1,500 nominations.
Winners will be included in the magazine’s September issue.
RCS Construction would like to add an extra congratulations to fellow South Dakota companies that also made the list:
Architecture Incorporated, Sioux Falls, S.D. Banner Associates, Brookings, S.D. CornerStone Bank, North Dakota & South Dakota HDR, offices in N.D., S.D. and Minn. Lloyd Companies, Sioux Falls, S.D. MarketBeat, Sioux Falls, S.D. TSP Inc., Sioux Falls, S.D.
The Club for Boys in Rapid City is excited to announce new growth to include a sports court, office space remodel, and Erickson building remodel in Rapid City.
Douglas Herrmann, executive director, Club for Boys says “the updates give us a significant increase in program space. We can now expand independent living skills in our programs. In addition, the sport court adds a place where we can expand outdoor activities that we used to do off-campus, now we don’t have to bus the boys to another location.”
Funding for this project was raised through a $2 million dollar Capital Campaign in 2019 with partial support awarded to the Club for Boys through the Rapid City Vision Fund and a grant from the John T. Vucurevich Foundation. The rest was raised through donor and community contributions.

Project Update: The Spearfish Wastewater Treatment Plant Equalization Basin is nearing completion. RCS crews added the lining to the 170 foot by 250 foot holding tank.
“It’s strips of 60 millimeter thick high density plastic,” said Bob Everidge, plant superintendent. “They roll it out and then they weld it together so it’s impervious.”
The E.Q. basin project started in January, and will soon be ready to bypass up to 1.5 million gallons of raw sewage when the need arises.
RCAS has a very lengthy and comprehensive plan for future building and remodeling. I would encourage anyone who thinks “there is no plan” to attend one of the informational meetings held throughout our community. Not only has the plan been heavily modified, trimming any fat that would have been present, but also addressing sustainability so that an investment today will be heavily rewarded in the future.
Perhaps most importantly, energy efficiency is addressed. The new schools will have better insulation, windows, and building material. Through heat recovery methods, geothermal design, utilization of wind energy, and updated lighting, the schools will consume much less energy. In addition to saving on energy, the buildings and remodels have been designed with low maintenance material.
The updating of our schools is perhaps one of the most important steps we as a community can take in moving us all forward. Rapid City tomorrow will only be what we create for our youth today. I would much rather build today with the future in mind rather than chance tomorrow. One thing is for sure, costs of construction, material, land, and education will certainly cost more, later.
I’m voting Yes RCAS. There’s a plan, a good one.
