What you need to know
The Spectrum Drive property will be home to educational programming for electrical trades, cosmetology, automotive, autobody, early childhood and the district's 18+ program, according to the district.
The facility is a former Legal Zoom office and will provide over 200,000 square feet of educational space for students in these programs.
The details
RRISD paid $37.75 million for the facility, the district announced April 1. That is $15 million lower than the approved cost for a facility to house CTE programming.
These cost savings will be used for a facility remodel to better support RRISD students in the CTE program.
What else?
Additionally, the facility will provide practice space for the district's robotics program, and a welcome center for RRISD staff, families and the community.
