Located behind the high school building on the north campus—1250 Seventh St., Sugar Land—construction of the pavilion began in August and is due to be completed in October.
FBCA is a private school serving pre-K through 12th-grade students at two sites in the city. The south campus is located at 1201 Lakeview Drive.

The pavilion will give the school 4,800 more square feet than the current art studio, which is where ceramics and jewelry-making courses are held.
“So the cement’s been poured now, and they’re still working on the electrical and the plumbing,” Rice said.
Students are not the only people who may use the structure, she said. FBCA intends to hold community events in the space, including art exhibitions and performances.
“That’s part of our vision,” Rice said. “Because we want to be involved in the community, and we want to use what we have in any way.”
