Questions & Answers:
Bond 2020 Renovations at Davis Middle School

What is the status of renovations at Davis Middle School? 

Davis Middle School renovations are currently in design. To help address industry pressures during the pandemic, the bond projects were placed in phases to stagger construction. The Davis renovation project, which is currently in Phase 3, came in over budget, based on initial designs. Additionally, the architect withdrew from the project, so the design process has restarted with a new architect.  

When will construction begin on our school? 

The district must first complete the design phase, which is expected to last through early fall 2025, with construction beginning in winter 2025. 

Will students need to be relocated to another campus during construction? 

No. Because only a portion of the Davis Middle School campus will be under construction, students will remain on campus with some adjustments to accommodate construction. As we near the start of construction, the campus will communicate important logistics to families. 

What is included in the renovation? 

The Davis Middle School renovation will include a new competition gym; locker rooms; coaches’ offices; weight/mat room; as well as renovation of the existing gym into a P.E. practice area. In addition, the school will receive new perimeter fencing and parking lot improvements. Additionally, the campus will receive security and technology upgrades, along with all SAISD campuses.

When will we be able to use the newly renovated spaces? 

Construction will last about two years from the groundbreaking, and then a move-in date that coincides with a school break would need to be selected for move-in to the new spaces. 

How will parents and students have a voice in the process? 

Your principal will be forming a Project Advisory Team that includes parents, students, teachers, and community members to represent the larger Davis Middle School community. The group will provide input on the project during the design phase.
