Elgin High School Additions & CTE Expansion

The Elgin High School Additions & CTE Expansion project in Travis County is a $49,000,000 renovation and alteration effort that added 120,000 square feet of new space to the campus at 14000 County Line Rd. The construction scope included a two-story classroom addition, a cafeteria addition, an auditorium addition, and a Career and Technical Education (CTE) expansion. The project was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in January 2023, with construction starting in March 2023.

This large-scale upgrade represents a significant investment by the Elgin Independent School District, the owner of record. With a cost of $408 per square foot, the project’s financial scale is above the county median for similar renovation filings. The scheduled build window of 580 days is longer than the county median of 98 days, reflecting the complexity of integrating new facilities into an existing high school environment.

The project is listed as 'Project Closed' in the state records, signaling the completion of the regulatory oversight phase for this specific filing.

The Elgin Independent School District has a history of infrastructure development in the area, with six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $13,899,000. These include renovations at Elgin Intermediate School, Elgin Elementary School, and other district facilities. The current project stands out for its size and cost, significantly larger than the district’s other recent filings. The site is located in a residential and commercial mix, near landmarks such as Wildcat Stadium and the Shops at Park Place.

The funding for this project involves public funds, public land, or Federally funded roadway project criteria. The registered accessibility specialist for the filing was Mark S Robinson.
