Project Overview
- Gilbane served as general contractor for Cy-Fair Independent School District’s new High School #12 and Elementary School #55, both as part of Cy-Fair ISD’s new Education Village in Cypress, TX
- The high school features a four-story academic wing, science labs, collaboration spaces, community building for fine arts and indoor athletics including a natatorium, dining facility and central utility plant building as well as competition baseball, softball, football, and track facilities
- Through these closely connected campuses, CFISD’s goal is to provide mentorship and leadership opportunities for older students, while also assisting younger students with the transition from elementary to middle, and middle to high school
- The schools are built to the Collaborative for High Performance School (CHPS) Texas standards. CHPS is a non-profit organization with a mission to fundamentally change the construction of schools by encouraging the conservation of energy, water and the reduction of waste, pollution, and environmental degradation
Both the high school and the elementary school were completed and ready to open on August 28, the scheduled first day of school. Then Hurricane Harvey impacted the area. Due to the hurricane, the first day of school was pushed back two weeks. The project took on a substantial amount of damage from wind driven rain and flooding of the sports fields. We were able to make all of the necessary repairs, and had the buildings ready for the re‐scheduled first day of school, ensuring that children were able to get back to some normalcy after a very chaotic time.
