Bond-related construction projects are underway throughout the district, and more will begin soon.

Below are details about the projects currently underway.

For construction projects at occupied schools, student safety is always paramount. All tasks are completed either when school is not in session – in the evenings or on weekends – or in cordoned-off areas. While school is in session, areas of the building under renovation are locked or walled-off. Students do not have access to those areas, and construction workers are only permitted in construction areas. Construction workers are also required to pass a background check before working at any AISD campus.

Anderson Elementary
Construction at Anderson Elementary began Nov. 28, 2016, and is adding two STEM labs, a strings room and a security vestibule.

Renovations to add the STEM labs and strings room are currently underway. The new flooring is now in and millwork will come soon. Work on the security vestibule started in January with floor demolition at the end of the month. New storefront was installed shortly after.

A second wave of bond construction will come in 2019 and include a series of life-cycle and deficiency upgrades.

The current projects are being managed by W.B. Kibler Construction, following plans designed by Hahnfeld Hoffer and Stanford.

Jones Academy of Fine Arts and Dual Language
Jones Academy of Fine Arts and Dual Language is now in the third and final phase of renovations. The phasing plan – working in different areas of the building at different times – allows school to keep going.

The school building is receiving extensive renovations to enhance the fine arts and dual language programming. The renovations are providing state-of-the-art fine arts spaces like strings rooms, piano practice rooms, drama space and a dance studio. In addition, adjustments are being made to ensure there are enough classrooms so that each class – or cohort – can spend half the day in an English-speaking classroom and half the day in a Spanish-speaking classroom.

Most of phase one was completed over the past summer. Major renovations were done to the cafeteria and stage, office and main entry, gym, pod building, collaborative group areas, piano lab, music rooms, practice music rooms and east classrooms. Major structural upgrades were also completed to enhance and lengthen the life of the building. Exterior improvements, along with new landscaping, are being done to improve the school’s aesthetics. An outdoor performance area adjacent to Jones is under construction and nearing completion as well.

Phase two, which concluded at the end of 2016, included renovation for the art rooms, STEM labs, collaborative group areas and interior classrooms. Jones teachers and students occupied these areas around Thanksgiving.

The third and final phase is nearing completion and includes renovations of the library, dance room and theater arts room.
