**Tyler ISD Board Approves $123 Million for Hubbard Middle School, Tyler High Expansions**
TYLER, TX – The Tyler ISD Board of Trustees, at its December 14 meeting, officially approved Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) agreements totaling $123 million for significant construction projects at Hubbard Middle School and Tyler High School. These projects, funded by the district's voter-approved 2022 Bond Program, aim to modernize facilities and expand capacity for students.
Hubbard Middle School will see a complete rebuild with an approved GMP of $81,040,000. The new 150,000-square-foot facility will be constructed on the school's current campus located at 3333 Fry Street. Designed to accommodate 800 students, the state-of-the-art building will feature modern classrooms, innovative learning spaces, new athletic facilities, performance areas for fine arts, and dedicated student collaboration zones. Groundbreaking for the new Hubbard Middle School is anticipated in early 2024, with completion expected by August 2025, just in time for the 2025-2026 school year.
Concurrent with the Hubbard project, Tyler High School will undergo a substantial Phase 2 expansion with an approved GMP of $41,960,000. This expansion includes a new two-story, over 70,000-square-foot classroom addition. Additionally, the high school will receive a new 10,000-square-foot competition gym and a 20,000-square-foot addition specifically for its Career and Technical Education (CTE) and ROTC programs. The Tyler High Phase 2 expansion is also slated for completion by August 2025.
Both projects are integral parts of the Tyler ISD 2022 Bond Program, a $198.5 million initiative overwhelmingly approved by local voters with 60% in favor. Satterfield & Pontikes Construction is serving as the Construction Manager at Risk for both ventures, while HKS Architects and VLK Architects are handling the design work. These developments represent a significant step forward in the district's commitment to providing modern and effective learning environments for its students.
