Tyler ISD BOND 2013 Construction Update
Posted/updated on: February 7, 2014 at 2:37 pm
TYLER – Progress continues as planned on Tyler ISD BOND 2013 construction projects, according to a news release from the school district. The multi-million dollar bond passed by voters last May includes a new 147,000 square foot Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center, two new middle school campuses at the existing Moore MST Magnet School and Boulter Middle School locations, one new middle school at the Three Lakes location in South Tyler, and renovations and additions to Dixie and Rice elementary schools.
The CTE Center is coming along nicely as all concrete building foundations are now complete and the east road has been poured, officials say. Crews have also begun erecting structural steel columns and beams. At the elementary schools, dirt work is underway at both campuses and site demolition for the gym, cafeteria, and kitchen additions is complete. The foundation is currently being installed at Dixie and is almost complete at Rice. Officials report construction will begin this month on the new middle school at the Three Lakes location and will begin in March at both the Boulter and Moore MST locations. All projects are currently said to be on schedule.
“We are seeing progress on each of the BOND 2013 projects every day,” Tyler ISD Superintendent Gary Mooring said. “I appreciate the hard work our district managers and construction firms are putting in to keep these projects on pace.”
Every month, the District’s construction project manager, Monte Robinett, provides construction updates to the Tyler ISD Board of Trustees during regularly scheduled board meetings, which are typically held on the third Thursday of the month at the Plyler Instructional Complex.
