While students were away from campus for an extended period this spring and summer, construction crews continued work on facility improvements throughout Round Rock ISD.
Melanie Camarena, director of construction at RRISD, provided an update on the status of a number of 2018 bond projects to the board of trustees on Sept. 24. RRISD voters approved a $508.4 million bond in November 2018.
Over the summer, crews installed new playground equipment at Blackland Prairie, Cactus Ranch, Caldwell Heights, Old Town, Pond Springs, Purple Sage and Spicewood elementary schools. Playground improvements at Double File Trail and Fern Bluff elementaries are nearing completion at this time, Camarena said. Two elementary schools—Berkman and Brushy Creek—are next in line to receive new playground equipment over the coming year, she said.
In addition, crews completed flooring projects at Forest Creek, Laurel Mountain and Wells Branch elementary schools; Canyon Vista and Cedar Valley middle schools over the summer. Two additional flooring projects are ongoing at this time, Camarena said—Live Oak Elementary School and Ridgeview Middle School. Three schools are expected to receive flooring upgrades over the coming year—Caldwell and Voigt elementary schools; and Hopewell Middle School.
