Goodman Elementary school T-bldg relocation

Lula Belle Goodman Elementary School in Fresno, Texas, completed the relocation of a two-classroom unit in June 2025. The project, filed under the name Goodman Elementary school T-bldg relocation, involved moving existing educational space to 1100 W Sycamore RD within Fort Bend County. The finished structure measures 1,536 sq ft and was completed within a 60-day scheduled build window.

The work is classified as additions to an existing building. The scope of work specified the relocation of a two-classroom unit from one Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) school to another. This move allowed the district to consolidate classroom space at the Fresno location without constructing new masonry structures from the ground up. The project utilized public funds and public land for this specific educational infrastructure update.

Project Details and Cost

The estimated cost for the relocation was $120,000. This figure places the project below the county median for similar additions to existing buildings, which stands at $350,000. The cost per square foot was calculated at $78, a rate close to the Fort Bend County median of $90 per square foot. The efficient timeline and cost reflect the nature of relocating pre-existing modular or portable classroom units rather than new construction.

FBISD Boundaries & Planning Coordinator Design & Construction served as the owner of record. MWA Architects was the design firm listed on the filing. Kenneth Otten was the registered accessibility specialist for the project. The district has registered six other TDLR projects totaling $900,000, including work at Elkins High School and Ronald Thornton Middle School, all of which are now closed. MWA Architects has also been involved in six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $8,400,000 across Houston and Richmond.

TDLR closed the project file in December 2025, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. The final inspection passed in June 2025, confirming that the relocated two-classroom unit met all necessary standards. The project was registered with TDLR in June 2025 and construction started in the same month. The scheduled completion date of August 2025 has passed, and the record indicates the work was finished and inspected before the file was closed.
