Summary
Architect and construction manager updated trustees on summer work starting at the district natatorium and on multi-campus projects, including phased chilled- and hot-water piping replacement at Colleyville Heritage High School and roofing and security upgrades at elementary and middle schools.
Grapevine-Colleyville ISD staff and the district's bond architect briefed trustees May 19 on the start of summer construction for projects funded by the 2024 bond program.
Brian Green, principal and architect with Huckaby, said Lee Lewis Construction began work early at the district natatorium and will paint the pool structure, replace retractable bleachers and install a new dehumidification unit and UV filtration equipment. He said scaffolding and protective systems were installed and that work to reinstall mechanical and filtration equipment is scheduled through June and July.
At Colleyville Heritage High School, Green said crews will replace corroded hot- and chilled-water piping and add shutoff valves so portions of the building can be isolated for maintenance. That work is planned as a multi-year, phased project, with significant piping replacement scheduled across the 2026 and 2027 summers.
The district will also start multi-campus renovations this summer at Colleyville Elementary, Heritage Elementary, Cross Timbers Middle School and the transportation facility. Planned work includes new roofs where water infiltration has been identified, stage curtain and audio-visual upgrades at auditoriums, sewer-line replacement under Cross Timbers, upgraded rooftop units in athletic spaces, and replacement of underground fuel tanks and dispensers at the transportation campus.
Most of the projects are starting as schools release for summer, Green said, and several permits were in review or ready for pickup; he said work will continue through the summer and into subsequent years for phased projects. The presentation was informational; no board vote was required.
