The Forest Oak Middle School project blends new construction, significant interior renovations, and strategic site improvements. The scope includes the addition of a new three-story academic facility housing classrooms, science labs, fine arts spaces, CTE labs, and a new media center. Work within the existing building features major interior renovations throughout, including corridor upgrades and enhancements to band, orchestra, and choir areas. A new secured front entry vestibule will improve campus safety and access control. The project also delivers life cycle upgrades to core building systems, including mechanical. electrical, plumbing, technology, and security infrastructure. Exterior improvements include upgrades to the building envelope, such as new roofing and window replacement. Site work encompasses the creation of a secure outdoor learning courtyard, the extension of the existing fire lane, replacement of the track, and development of a new parking area south of Pecos St. to improve traffic circulation. A temporary portable classroom village installed in summer 2024 to allow the campus to remain operational during construction will be removed upon completion of the project.
