WLISD BBSB Locker Rooms

Wink-Loving ISD is constructing a new 960-square-foot exterior dugout facility at 401 N Wildcat Dr. in Wink, Texas. This new construction project includes dedicated spaces for baseball and softball, along with an attached locker room and restroom. The estimated cost for this development is $1,550,000, resulting in a calculated cost of $1,615 per square foot. The project is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) under the name WLISD BBSB Locker Rooms.

The district selected WRA Architects as the design firm of record for this initiative. Peter Walper is the registered accessibility specialist ensuring the facility meets required standards. The project involves public funds and is situated on public land within Winkler County. TDLR completed the plan review phase in July 2026, clearing the path for physical construction to begin in the same month. The official completion date listed in the filing is August 2027, meaning the project is scheduled to finish in August 2027.

Wink-Loving ISD has a significant history of infrastructure investment in the area. The district has six other TDLR-registered projects in Wink, totaling $21,850,000 in estimated costs. These include various school buildings and facilities, all of which have completed their review phases. This current dugout project adds to that portfolio, focusing specifically on athletic support spaces for the community's students.

In comparison to other new construction filings in Winkler County, this project’s estimated cost of $1,550,000 is below the county median of $3,100,000. The scheduled build window of 382 days is close to the county median of 368 days. However, the cost per square foot of $1,615 is above the county median of $359. This difference reflects the specific nature of the facility, which includes specialized athletic structures and interior amenities like lockers and restrooms, rather than a standard classroom or office space.

The location is in Wink, a city in Winkler County with a population of approximately 1,380 according to U.S. Census estimates. The median household income in the 79789 ZIP code is $127,898. The project serves the Wink-Loving Independent School District, which includes two schools and 445 students. The facility is expected to provide improved conditions for athletes and staff, supporting the district's ongoing commitment to maintaining its educational and athletic infrastructure.
