Scope: Pave existing marching fields at high school campuses to create more student parking

Projected Cost: $6 million

Areas Addressed: New Construction, Facility Maintenance, Refresh & Renewal

Older high schools were originally designed for 1,800 students. When FISD expanded capacity to 2,100 students, parking was not added

Paved areas may be used for parking or band practice depending on events and activities

Mud, heat and insects can present challenges when maintaining grass areas for marching band practice 

Paved areas require less manpower and expense to maintain

Scope: Construct a 1,250 seat multi-purpose auditorium for the performing and visual arts, including instructional, training and office space

Projected Cost: $43 million

Estimated M&O Impact: $200,000*

Areas Addressed: Student Opportunity, New Construction, Future-Ready Learning

A larger-capacity auditorium would allow for new and collaborative events between multiple campuses and fine arts programs

Many performances currently fill up the 500-600 seat capacity of high school auditoriums. A larger venue would allow more family and friends to experience student concerts, plays and art shows

A fine arts auditorium and instructional facility would save travel time and costs and limit disruption to students' instructional time

The facility would be used by FISD fine arts programs about 150 days per year, with the potential for outside groups and/or partners to utilize the facility as well
