📰About Alterations to Santa Rita Elementary School
Midland Independent School District filed a $4,000,000 renovation project for Santa Rita Elementary School at 5306 Whitman Drive in Midland. The filing, registered with TDLR in March 2026, covers interior alterations and renovations spanning 11,000 square feet. This specific scope of work places the project in the top quarter of estimated costs among similar renovation filings in Midland County.
Project Scope and Design
MWM Architects serves as the design firm of record for this alteration. The registered accessibility specialist for the project is Stephen D Macphie. The estimated cost per square foot is $364, a figure that exceeds the county median of $80 per square foot for renovation and alteration projects. The scheduled build window of 91 days is shorter than the 122-day median observed in the county.
Public funds support this development on public land. Construction was scheduled to begin in June 2026 with a completion date of August 2026. TDLR completed the plan review process in April 2026. Despite the scheduled completion date having passed, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Therefore, the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record.
Midland Independent School District has six other TDLR-registered projects totaling $64,100,000 in the region. These include substantial renovations at other local elementary schools. MWM Architects has also designed five other projects for the district and private clients in the region, with a combined value of $18,486,000. This indicates a consistent pattern of large-scale facility upgrades managed through the district’s capital improvement plans.
The project is located in ZIP code 79705, a predominantly owner-occupied area with a median household income of $105,106 according to U.S. Census estimates. The local labor market remains stable, with the Midland County unemployment rate at 3.4 percent in July 2026. These economic factors provide context for the scale of public investment in local infrastructure and educational facilities.
