Adolfson & Peterson Construction was recently awarded the construction and renovation contract for Austin Independent School District’s Anderson and McCallum High Schools.
Anderson High School, in Northwest Austin, Texas, was built in 1970. The renovation includes a 43,350-square-foot competition gym with an 1,800-seat capacity and locker rooms with coaches’ offices, training rooms, officials’ dressing rooms and laundry. Common spaces will feature a Hall of Honor and trophy cases, while the entry vestibule and front office will be reconfigured for security. This project is designed to accommodate the school’s 2,397 students.
Opened in 1955, McCallum High School will expand its Science and CTE department, with AP constructing a modern, three-story, 50,000-square-foot building with computer labs, robotics, wood shop, biology, chemistry and physics spaces. Located in North Austin, the existing 30,000-square-foot science wing will be demolished. Additionally the secure entry vestibule will be reconfigured and the front office will be remodeled. The updates will accommodate 1,542 students.
The project’s construction and renovation projects will kick off in May 2025. Estimated completion dates for both schools are planned for fall 2026 with a grand opening in January 2027. PBK Architects designed both schools.
