Pasadena ISD - 2022 Bond - CTE Culinary - Pasadena Memorial High School

Pasadena Memorial High School completed a 2,008 sq ft renovation of its CTE Culinary facility at 4410 Crenshaw Rd, Pasadena, TX 77504. The project, filed under the Pasadena ISD - 2022 Bond program, passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in October 2026, confirming construction is complete. This alteration project involved an estimated cost of $1,000,000, equating to $498 per square foot.

The renovation was executed under a schedule that began in January 2026 and concluded with inspection clearance in June 2027, per the filing dates. Although the final inspection was recorded in October 2026, the TDLR status reflects the completion of the required accessibility review process. The work was classified as a Renovation/Alteration, specifically targeting the culinary education spaces within the existing high school structure.

Project Scope and Funding

Pasadena Independent School District served as the owner of record for this initiative. The design was handled by GPD Group Professional Corporation, with Laura Fulkerson registered as the accessibility specialist. The project involved public funds and public land, aligning with the district’s broader capital improvement goals. The $1,000,000 investment places the cost above the Harris County median for similar renovation filings, which stands at $250,000.

The 527-day scheduled build window was longer than the county median of 92 days for comparable projects. This extended timeline reflects the complexity of integrating new culinary equipment and accessibility standards into an active educational environment. The final cost per square foot of $498 also exceeded the county median of $80, indicating a higher specification level for the materials and systems installed.
