Alamo Heights High School

The Visitor Field House at Alamo Heights High School in Alamo Heights, Texas, is a completed new construction project that cost $8,000,000 to build. The facility spans 7,645 square feet and includes a one-story building and a 2,850-seat aluminum bleacher system located on the east side of the stadium. The project involved the demolition of the existing visitor side bleachers and field house before the new structures were erected.

Alamo Height Independent School District, the owner of record, registered the project with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in July 2024. The registered accessibility specialist for the project was Jessica Trevino Hamm. Construction began in October 2024, following the completion of plan review in the same month as registration. The filing indicated a scheduled completion date of July 2026, but the final inspection was passed in March 2026.

Construction Scope and Cost

The scope of work focused on replacing aging infrastructure with a modern athletic facility. The estimated cost of $8,000,000 places the project in the top quarter of new construction filings in Bexar County, where the median estimated cost is $600,000. The cost per square foot for this project is $1,046, which is above the county median of $115 per square foot. The scheduled build window of 638 days was longer than the county median of 207 days, reflecting the complexity of demolishing and reconstructing stadium seating and associated structures.

This project is part of a broader capital improvement effort by the school district. Alamo Height Independent School District has three other TDLR-registered projects totaling $93,800,000, including the Robbins Athletic Complex in San Antonio and the Main Academic Building in Alamo Heights. The Visitor Field House project involved public funds and public land, ensuring that the new facility meets state accessibility standards for public use.

The TDLR record for this project is now closed. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation closed the project file in September 2026, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The final inspection passed in March 2026, confirming that the building and bleachers meet the required safety and accessibility codes before the file was officially archived.

The new field house and bleachers provide enhanced facilities for the Alamo Heights community and its students. The project replaced the previous visitor amenities with a larger, more modern structure that supports the school's athletic programs. The completion of this construction adds to the district's recent investments in educational and recreational infrastructure within Bexar County.
