Charlotte ISD 2024 Bond - Field House

The Charlotte ISD Field House is a new construction project located at 1247 Couser Blvd in Charlotte, Atascosa County. The facility will occupy 6,478 sq ft and includes new parking as part of the scope of work. The project is scheduled to finish in October 2026, with construction work starting in August 2025. This build represents a significant addition to the district's infrastructure, replacing or expanding existing athletic facilities with a dedicated structure for student use.

Project Scope and Design

Pfluger Architects serves as the design firm of record for this project. The estimated cost is $3,200,000, which calculates to a cost of $494 per square foot. For context, this cost per square foot is above the county median of $133 per square foot for similar new construction filings in Atascosa County. The total estimated cost is also above the county median of $723,000, placing this project in the top quarter of registered new construction costs in the area. The scheduled build window of 452 days is longer than the county median of 182 days, reflecting the complexity of a new field house with associated parking infrastructure.

Charlotte ISD owns the project, which is funded through public funds. The district has two other TDLR-registered projects totaling $16,800,000, including the Charlotte ISD Elementary School at $12,800,000 and another project at $4,000,000 that has been closed. Pfluger Architects has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $80,977,268, ranging from the $65,000,000 Leander Elementary #32 to the $270,000 Langner Hall. This indicates a substantial portfolio of educational and civic construction work for both the owner and the design firm.

The site is located in Atascosa County, which had an unemployment rate of 5 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier. The local ZIP code 78011 has a population of about 1,386 with a median household income of $29,089. The median owner-occupied home value is $70,600, and housing is predominantly owner-occupied. These Census estimates for the ZIP code provide context for the community in which this new facility will serve.

TDLR completed plan review in April 2025, and the project is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Monica Guajardo is the registered accessibility specialist for this project. The TDLR status is Review Complete, confirming that the design meets state accessibility standards. Local coverage from pleasantonexpress.com noted that the Charlotte ISD board approved the general contractor and that the artist rendering shows the new Charlotte Athletic Field House located on the north end of Trojan Field. This third-party description aligns with the TDLR filing details regarding the location and nature of the new construction.
