Brazosport College Project 6 Dow Academic Center Maintenance & Repairs

Brazosport College is undertaking a $993,000 renovation project at 400 College Drive and 500 College Drive in Lake Jackson. The work, registered with TDLR, focuses on exterior storefront modifications, building sealant replacement, and concrete sidewalk removal and replacement. This 4,675 sq ft alteration aims to repair water infiltration issues affecting the existing facility.

The project is scheduled to finish in October 2027, with construction starting in October 2026. TDLR completed plan review in August 2026, marking the official start of the pre-construction phase. The estimated cost of $212 per square foot is above the county median for similar renovation filings, reflecting the specialized nature of the repairs required for the academic center.

Scope and Design

IAD Architects serves as the design firm of record for this maintenance and repair effort. The scope includes limited interior work specifically targeted at stopping outside water intrusion. Exterior changes involve updating storefronts and replacing aging sealant to protect the building envelope. Concrete sidewalks are being removed and replaced to ensure safe and compliant access around the property in Brazoria County.

Brazosport College owns the site and is the developer of record. Robert W Green is the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing. The project involves public funds and public land, indicating a commitment to maintaining accessible infrastructure for the community. The total estimated cost of $993,000 places this project in the top quarter of renovation costs in the region, consistent with its comprehensive scope of structural and exterior repairs.

The construction window spans one year, which is longer than the median scheduled build time for renovation projects in Brazoria County. This extended timeline allows for thorough execution of the sealant, concrete, and interior repair work. The project is part of a broader investment in campus facilities, with two other TDLR-registered projects for the college totaling $1,912,900 also in the review complete or registered status.
