BP033 Fine Arts Renovations at 16 Campuses

Fort Bend ISD has registered a renovation project at Ridgegate Elementary School in Houston, specifically targeting the fine arts facilities. The filing, designated as BP033 Fine Arts Renovations at 16 Campuses, includes a specific alteration to the Art Room to install a KILN room. This focused upgrade covers a total of 116 sq ft and is estimated to cost $68,380.

The project is located at 6015 W Ridgecreek Dr, Houston, TX 77053, within Fort Bend County. Pfluger Architects serves as the design firm of record for this work. William T Winning is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project involves public funds and public land, consistent with its status as a school district improvement.

TDLR completed plan review in September 2025, and the project is scheduled to finish in August 2027, with work starting June 2026. The TDLR status is listed as Review Complete. This timeline indicates a construction window of 456 days, which is longer than the county median scheduled build window of 92 days for similar renovation and alteration filings in Fort Bend County.

The estimated cost of $68,380 places this project below the county median estimated cost of $239,500 for renovation and alteration work. However, the cost per square foot is calculated at $589, which is above the county median of $80 per square foot. This reflects the specialized nature of the kiln installation within a small footprint. The project is one of several registered by Fort Bend ISD, including work at Walker Station, Brazos Bend, Colony Meadow, Oyster Creek, and Colony Bend Elementary Schools.
