School Construction (Design Only)

Project Scope

Leander ISD’s Early College High School opened in 2022, and it is housed within the Austin Community College San Gabriel campus.

Early College High School (ECHS) is an open-enrollment high school that allow students an opportunity to receive both a high school diploma and either an associate degree or at least 60 college credit hours toward a baccalaureate degree. 

This new facility will be adjacent to the San Gabriel campus. The funding from Bond 2023 covers design costs only. The remaining funds for the new facility would appear in a future bond.

Project Status

  • August 2024
    All Portables and Walkways Set. MEP systems ready for final power. PEC to set Transformer and coordinate with LISD/ACC for final power mid August. Asphalt fire lane to be completed mid August. Last furniture delivery/setup scheduled for late August. 
  • July 2024
    Underground conduits are in place and covered and 10 of the 18 buildings are on site and merged. Expecting to receive the other 8 portables late July. We are awaiting a date for the PEC transformer. We anticipate installing decks and ramps mid July. We will proceed with power hook ups when building permits are acquired. Fencing to be installed mid August and expecting furniture to be delivered early August. Due to the difficulty with different aspects of this project, Plan B will be to remain in the ACC building for an additional 2 weeks prior to ACC classes starting.
  • At the Feb. 1, 2024 Board meeting, Trustees approved the addition of portables. Currently, ECHS is housed in the campus’ main building; however, ACC will be utilizing all of the main building’s space starting August 2024. 
  • Fall 2024 (Estimated)
    Work on this project will begin with the Design phase.
  • August 2023
    At the Aug. 24, 2023 Board meeting, Trustees approved the architect and construction manager.
