Project Status: Complete

All bond projects, including the additions, expanded cafeteria and lifecycle and deficiency upgrades are complete.

Though not bond-funded, a new all-weather rubber surface for Workman’s track was installed, along with a new turf field. The new synthetic turf field, video scoreboard and lighting are the legacy of the 2018 NFL Draft. During the Draft, the City of Arlington, Dallas Cowboys, Gene and Jerry Jones Family Arlington Youth Foundation, NFL Foundation and Hellas Construction teamed up to donate $1.85 million to improve the grass field at Workman. The new track was funded by the AISD. .

Project Scope

Workman consolidated with Hutcheson Junior High in August 2015 at the Workman campus. Many of the bond projects focused on enabling the school to accommodate the increased student population. Along with the addition and renovations, Newcomer Center, an AISD alternative school that was housed at Workman, moved to Ferguson Education Center over the summer of 2015 to create more space for the junior high.
