Facility Construction
Project Scope
Construct a new building for the district’s program servicing students who qualify for transition services through special education between the ages of 18 and 22. The program currently resides in portable buildings on the Cedar Park HS campus, as well as rented space at the YMCA Twin Lakes facility. This project puts the program in a single facility.
The new location will be in a lot next to LISD’s Central Transportation and Support Services buildings [map].
This is a combined project location with the Science Materials Center. These two projects will be located on the same lot to further accommodate the work-based learning opportunities available to 18+ Transition Services students at the Science Materials Center.
