Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School in Dallas, TX

Wilmer-Hutchins Elementary School in Dallas is the site of a $5,139,420 renovation and alteration project covering 104,710 sq ft. The Dallas Independent School District is the owner of record for this work, which is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the state’s accessibility program.

The scope of work includes security upgrades, a new fire alarm system, exterior lighting, and a new marquee sign. Additional improvements involve replacing the grease trap, removing geothermal systems, installing new gym flooring, and performing miscellaneous exterior cleaning. The filing indicates that public funds are involved in this project.

Alliance Architects serves as the design firm of record, and Connie Fleming is the registered accessibility specialist. TDLR completed plan review in February 2025. The construction start date listed in the filing is June 2025, with a scheduled completion date of May 2026. Although that date has passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.

This project’s estimated cost is above the county median for its type, placing it in the top quarter of similar filings in Dallas County. The scheduled build window of 347 days is longer than the county median of 92 days. However, the cost per square foot, calculated at $49, is below the county median of $73. These figures are derived from TDLR-registered renovation and alteration filings in the area.

The school is located at 7475 J J Lemmon Rd, Dallas, TX 75241.
