Epps Island Elementary Renovations

Klein Independent School District is executing a $17,800,000 renovation of Epps Island Elementary School at 7403 Smiling Wood Ln in the Meadows Of Northwest Park area of Houston. The project, filed as "Epps Island Elementary Renovations," involves the partial renovation of an existing 97,000-square-foot building, adding 3,700 square feet of corridor space and expanding the cafeteria. The total area under construction is 100,700 square feet.

PBK Architects, Inc. serves as the design firm of record for this alteration. The scope includes associated site improvements along with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. Laura Fulkerson is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project involves public funds and public land.

Timeline and Registration Status

The project was registered with TDLR in February 2026. Plan review is pending, and the construction start date per the filing is June 2026. Completion is targeted for June 2027. The scheduled build window is 394 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for similar renovation and alteration filings in Harris County.

Financially, the estimated cost of $17,800,000 places the project in the top quarter of Harris County renovation filings. The computed cost is $177 per square foot, which is above the county median of $80 per square foot for this project type. This district has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $133,450,000, including Wunderlich Intermediate School and Klein Forest High School.

Third-party listings describe the school as a public institution serving grades K-5 within the district. A profile on Choose Klein lists the school in the Houston area, while a DonorsChoose page notes it serves 722 students. These external descriptions provide context for the educational facility being renovated, though the TDLR record focuses strictly on the construction scope and registration status.
