Irving High School-Secure Vestibules at Various Campuses

Irving High School completed a $835,987 renovation at 900 N. O'Connor Rd in Irving, Texas. The project, filed with TDLR as "Irving High School-Secure Vestibules at Various Campuses," focused on adding a secure vestibule to the existing school entrance. The work included demolishing the old reception area to create a new lobby, reception, and conference room, spanning 1,877 square feet of altered space.

The building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in June 2026. Construction was scheduled to begin and complete in June 2025, resulting in a rapid 11-day build window. This timeline was significantly shorter than the 92-day median for similar renovation projects in Dallas County. The project utilized public funds and was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in May 2025.
