Argyle ISD provides construction updates on new elementary school

According to the release, the district is estimated to double its elementary student enrollment of 2,400 students by 2033. The district opened its third elementary campus in Flower Mound last fall.

A closer look

Cohen said the construction process of the school was "continuing to make good progress." Site utilities, such as underground waterlines, storm drains and electrical conduits, concrete grade beams and a gas line, are still being installed.

Cohen said the paving and expansion of Cleveland Gibbs Road has started as well, and is set to be completed next month. Other major activities include the hauling of excess spoil materials such as rocks; coordinating gas and electricity plans; and continuing construction of underground plumbing.

The first slab pour is scheduled for Sept. 25. Steel erection and masonry will also begin in November.

Quote of note

"We should see [the expansion of] Cleveland Gibbs next month being completed, and then we'll just continue to work through that as fast as possible and looking for ways every day to pick up time," Cohen said.
