The students spent the fall semester researching and exploring neighborhoods surrounding three district facilities, gaining valuable insights for their projects. The project, which is independent of SAISD's Facilities Repurposing Process and will not directly inform its outcomes, was led by UTSA Architecture Adjunct Professor Ryan Marchesi.

Last year, the Board of Trustees voted to close 15 campuses, in response to ensuring equity and access to quality learning, programs and resources.  SAISD then implemented a community-based process to determine how the buildings would be used and hosted several community events to explain the repurposing process and its timeline.

Community members are encouraged to help create positive change by taking the short interest survey in English or Spanish at www.saisd.net/frpsurvey.
