The project is scheduled to finish in June 2027. This timeline represents a build window of 450 days, which is longer than the 243-day median for similar new construction filings in Dallas County.

VLK is the design firm of record for this facility. Bonita L Anderson is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the project. The filing indicates that the project involves public funds, public land, or is a Federally funded roadway project.

Context and Local Impact

This building is part of a larger development by Garland ISD, which has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $50,500,000. These include Carson-Mulkey Agricultural Science Center Buildings A and C, both located in Sachse, as well as projects in Garland such as Lakeview Centennial High School and Williams High School Stadium. The estimated cost for Building B is above the county median of $950,000 for new construction, placing it in the top quarter of filings in Dallas County.

The site is located in ZIP code 75048, a predominantly owner-occupied area with a median household income of $129,024 according to U.S. Census ACS 2023 estimates. The neighborhood includes local services such as a 7-Eleven convenience store, Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church, and Baylor Scott & White Outpatient Therapy. Dallas County’s unemployment rate was 3.3 percent in July 2026, reflecting the local labor market conditions during this construction period.
