RTU Replacements at William P. Hobby Middle School in San Antonio, TX

RTU Replacements at William P. Hobby Middle School is a $3,000,000 renovation filed by Northside Independent School District. Located at 11843 Vance Jackson Rd in San Antonio, the project involves replacing 16 rooftop units and updating temperature, humidity, CO2, and CO sensors across 450,000 square feet of space. Cleary Zimmermann Engineers serves as the design firm of record for this mechanical and environmental system upgrade.

The TDLR registration lists a scheduled construction window from May 2026 to July 2026. This 59-day build period is shorter than the 103-day median for similar renovation projects in Bexar County. The estimated cost of $3,000,000 places the project in the top quarter of cost comparisons for renovation and alteration filings in the county, despite a cost per square foot of $7 that is below the county median of $85.

The facility is located in Bexar County, within ZIP code 78230. U.S. Census estimates for this area indicate a population of about 42,070 and a median household income of $71,564. The housing stock comprises approximately 21,191 units with a median owner-occupied home value of $355,400. Northside Independent School District has six other TDLR-registered projects in San Antonio, including renovations at Boldt Elementary School and Clark High School Fine Arts Building.

City of San Antonio permit records show seven permits on file at this street address between March 2025 and May 2026. These include plumbing, electrical, and minor commercial repair permits with total declared valuations of $379,203. The most recent permit entries reference energy and rooftop unit replacements specifically for Hobby Middle School. Cleary Zimmermann Engineers also designed five other registered projects, including several library buildings in San Antonio.

TDLR completed plan review in September 2026. Although the filing indicated construction was scheduled to finish in July 2026, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection. Consequently, the current physical state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The project remains in the Review Complete status within the TDLR system, with no final inspection data available to verify completion of the mechanical upgrades.
