The steadily growing Frisco (Texas) school district is moving forward with construction of an 18th middle school.
The campus, still unnamed, will be built in northwest Frisco, reports Impact Newspaper.
The Frisco district has grown rapidly since the early 1990s and typically adds 2,000 to 3,500 students each year, its website says. In 1993, Frisco had about 1,933 students in four schools. It now has more than 63,000 students in 73 schools.
The $43 million middle school campus will feature flexible learning spaces and is designed to fit into the architecture of surrounding buildings.
The proposed site plan is similar to the layout of Lawler Middle School, school officials say. It will have floor-to-ceiling windows and classrooms that are connected to common spaces, such as the library.
The campus will also feature innovation labs.
The school is expected to open in fall 2023.
Corgan Architects designed the facility.
