DECATUR ISD FLUSCHE CENTER RENOVATION

The Flusche Center renovation in Decatur will transform a 10,000 sq ft existing building into a multipurpose facility for Decatur ISD. Located at 102 S HWY 287 in Wise County, the project is estimated to cost $2,800,000. This renovation/alteration is registered with TDLR under the filing name Decatur ISD Flusche Center Renovation, establishing the official record for this significant district investment.

Decatur ISD is the owner of record for this development. The registered accessibility specialist is Brittany Lynn Cain Miller. The project is privately funded, on private land, and designated for private use. The estimated cost of $2,800,000 works out to $280 per square foot, a figure that reflects the comprehensive nature of the interior alterations planned for the existing structure.

Project Timeline and Scope

The project was registered with TDLR in August 2026. According to the filing, construction is scheduled to start in October 2026, and completion is targeted for April 2027. The scope of work involves the renovation of the 10,000 sq ft existing building to serve as a multipurpose facility for the school district, allowing for diverse educational and community uses within the renovated space.

The scheduled build window is 185 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for similar renovation filings. The estimated cost is above the county median for its type, placing it in the top quarter of Wise County renovation projects. This extended timeline and higher cost per square foot indicate a detailed scope of work beyond basic repairs.

Decatur ISD has other TDLR-registered projects in the area, including the Decatur AG Barn and the Mccarroll Middle School Band Hall & GYM, both of which are closed. The Flusche Center project stands as a significant investment in the district's infrastructure in Decatur, complementing previous renovations and enhancing the facility's capacity for future use by students and staff.
