How We Got Here• Renovation Costs
Renovation is NOT new paint and carpet No recognized building codes in place at time of
Jr High construction Today’s building codes = 4,000 – 5,000 pages If renovated, must meeting all current codes:
• International Building Code, International Plumbing Code, International Mechanical Code, National Electric Code, Life Safety Code, Energy Conservation Code, National Electrical Code, TEA School Facilities Standards, TCEQ for asbestos abatement and Texas Accessibility Standards (ADA)
Building Code for Renovation = New Construction
How We Got Here• Renovation Costs
The OLDER the building, the fewer existing elements offered that meet current building codes
Major compliance issues = handicap accessibility, fire safety, electrical, energy efficiency and compliance with TEA min. sizes for classrooms
Major renovations take 12 months + ~ $500,000 for portable buildings
How We Got Here• Renovation Costs
New electrical, new plumbing, new classroom sizes, new air conditioning, new fire safety corridor walls, new ceilings, new lighting, new flooring, new restrooms, new handicap ramps, new construction to make up for the lost classrooms due to reconfiguration, new security vestibules, new administration area, new windows, new building envelope insulation to meet energy codes.
Renovation upgrades give ~ 30 years added life

Future Costs• Future Value of $ 18 million
• 5 years = $ 22.9 million
• 10 years = $ 29.3 million
• 20 years = $ 47.7 million
• Who determined the fire safety issue at Junior High? What is the fire exit procedure?
• Who told the architects to figure the price according to gutting the building?• The existing building was condemned in 1969 yet it has still has children in it.• Why can’t you build new at the existing location?• Was other land looked at?• You don’t need 60 acres to build a school.• Why did the school go ahead and buy the land when it did?• Did you know about the hazardous cargo route (FM 3181) when you
purchased the land?• What will happen to the existing building?• Board members support the bond so they can buy the admin offices.• What will happen if the transmission lines are sold and we lose their tax
revenue?• Why does the new school cost so much? Why can’t we just build a metal
building?• This is what Rick Teran does – comes to a district and builds a new school.
