Garland ISD PH1 BP01 Baseball and Softball Improv. - Part 3 Williams Stadium Site

Garland ISD is constructing a new concession, toilet, and ticketing building at 510 Stadium Drive in Garland, Texas. This facility, part of the Williams High School Stadium complex, covers 1,200 square feet and is designed to support stadium operations with dedicated accessible parking. The project represents a significant infrastructure investment, with an estimated cost of $12,000,000.

The scope of work extends beyond the primary structure to include field lighting, new bleachers, a scoreboard, and general site improvements. HKS, Inc. serves as the design firm of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist is Glenn Thomas Comtois, ensuring the facility meets required standards. This project involves public funds and public land, aligning with the district's broader capital improvement goals.

Timeline and Regulatory Status

TDLR completed plan review in February 2026 and construction is scheduled to finish in December 2026, with work starting March 2026. The registration with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation occurred in February 2026. The status of the project is marked as Review Complete. The scheduled build window spans 305 days, which is longer than the county median of 243 days for similar new construction filings in Dallas County.

In terms of scale, the estimated cost places this project in the top quarter of new construction filings in Dallas County over the last 24 months. The median estimated cost for such projects is $950,000. Although the building itself is 1,200 square feet, the total project cost reflects the extensive site work, lighting, and seating infrastructure included in the scope. The cost per square foot is calculated at $10,000, significantly above the county median of $125 per square foot, a difference driven by the specialized stadium components rather than just the enclosed building area.

Garland ISD has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $48,000,000, including facilities in Sachse and Garland. HKS, Inc. has been involved in six other registered projects, some of which are massive in scale compared to this stadium upgrade. The local area, ZIP code 75040, has a population of about 64,205 and a median household income of $73,537 according to U.S. Census estimates. Dallas County unemployment was 3.3 percent in July 2026, higher than a year earlier.
