Humble ISD_ AMS Add & Reno

Humble ISD is adding 16,136 square feet to Atascocita Middle School at 18810 W Lake Houston Pkwy in Humble, Texas. The project, filed as Humble ISD_ AMS Add & Reno, includes a new educational addition for a gym and dance area measuring 11,950 square feet and a band addition of 4,698 square feet. The estimated cost for this expansion is $8,000,000.

Pfluger is the design firm of record for this addition to an existing building. The project was registered with TDLR in March 2025, and plan review was completed in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in June 2025, with a completion date listed for July 2026. Despite this scheduled end date, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, meaning the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
