The McKinney ISD board of trustees approved the design and probable cost of the district’s newest elementary school at a Sept. 28 meeting.
Construction on Elementary School No. 22, which is currently unnamed, is expected to start in March of 2022, according to meeting documents. The projected timeline sets completion in June 2023, in time for students to attend during the 2023-24 school year.
The probable cost of the project is approximately $35 million, which includes construction, furniture, permitting and other expenses, according to meeting documents. This is based on a 60% drawing, which does not include the costs of plumbing, electrical and other building necessities. A guaranteed cost will be presented to the board once a 100% drawing is complete.
Corgan architects and Pogue Construction are designing the building, which will be in the Trinity Falls area of McKinney. The proposed site plan is a one-story building on 12 acres bordered on the south by a future city park.
