Over $77 million in renovations and upgrades are set to begin this summer at several Lewisville ISD campuses and facilities.

After reviewing the projects in early March, LISD trustees approved maximum prices for the projects at the March 17 board meeting. The projects will consist of maintenance and repair upgrades at elementary, middle and high schools and administrative facilities as part of the 2023 bond package.

The details

While some campuses may require more work than others, each will receive a variety of life-cycle maintenance and repair upgrades, which usually include replacing or repairing roofs, HVAC and fire alarm systems, furniture, flooring lighting, doors and hardware, generators, and paint. Trustees approved the following full and partial maximum prices for maintenance work:

• Around $8.5 million at Lamar Middle School, the Facilities Service Center, the Welcome Center and one of the wings of Old Settlers Elementary. The price includes the full project scope.
• Around $27.1 million for Hebron High School. This price includes the full project scope.
• A partial maximum price for around $6.09 million at The Colony High School.
• A partial maximum price of $10.9 million for Marcus High School.
• A partial maximum price of $6.4 million at Castle Hills Elementary School.
• A partial maximum price of $2.4 million at Liberty Elementary School.

As part of the bond work, some campuses are slated for classroom and office door and hardware upgrades, but are not targeted for full life-cycle maintenance and repair work. These campuses include Forestwood Middle School, Lamar Middle School, McAuliffe Elementary School and Morningside Elementary School. Officials outlined around $3.01 million for these projects that are scheduled to begin in August.

The bond also allocates funds for districtwide security door and front entrance vestibule upgrades at various campuses across all grade levels and the LISD Administrative Center. Trustees reviewed an early package of $12.7 million for the project, which contains the full elementary and high school vestibule work. A final maximum price for the full scope of construction, including middle and high school and administrative facilities, will be brought back before the board in August, per district documents. Construction is set to begin this summer and complete by August 2026.

Going forward

Roof replacements at Lamar Middle School, the Facilities Service Center, the Welcome Center and one of the wings of Old Settlers Elementary will be completed by the end of 2025. Maintenance and repair work at Hebron High School, Liberty Elementary School and Castle Hills Elementary School will begin this summer and complete next summer.

Upgrades to The Colony High School and Marcus High School will begin this summer and continue each summer through 2027, according to district documents.
