Expansions and renovations to Plano West Senior High School athletic facilities received approval from the Plano Planning and Zoning Commission on Dec. 2.

What you need to know

The school will be adding 12 tennis courts just east of the softball field and west of Willow Bend Drive, according to city documents. Bleachers and a tennis building used for storage and restrooms will also be built by the new courts.

The courts are being relocated from their current location just south of Plano West's Athletic Center. There are currently eight courts.

The approved site plan also includes expansions to dugouts at Plano West’s baseball and softball field.


The background

The athletic facility updates will be funded as part of Plano ISD’s 2022 bond.

As part of the bond’s proposed renovations, Plano West is also set to receive a complete renovation of building A, two new gyms, a new weight room and major renovation of the locker room space. Projects to replace turf on the baseball and softball fields and fencing around the running tracks have already been completed. The site plan for the bulk of the project was approved in October.

Construction on all of the bond projects at Plano West is estimated to be completed in August 2022, according to the district’s website.
