Texas Farm Bureau Classroom Finish Out in Waco, TX

The Texas Farm Bureau Training Facility at 7420 Fish Pond Road in Waco is complete. The project, filed as the Texas Farm Bureau Classroom Finish Out, passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in August 2026, confirming that construction has concluded. This renovation of a 3,520-square-foot space within McLennan County was designed to create a functional training environment for educators.

The scope of work involved finishing out existing vacant space to create a lounge, a storage room, and two classroom spaces. The primary goal was to provide dedicated areas for training teachers. The estimated cost for this renovation and alteration was $600,000, which calculates to $170 per square foot. This cost per square foot is above the county median of $96 for similar renovation filings in the area.
