Cedar Ridge High School in Round Rock is officially headed for a serious upgrade. A $30 million campus expansion is now locked in after a state project registration this week, spelling out a new two-story classroom wing, a dedicated dance addition and athletic-field improvements. The work is scheduled to run from May 2027 through November 2028 and will be funded with dollars voters approved in Round Rock ISD’s 2024 bond program.
State Filing Spells Out The Scope
According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the project (TABS2026024250) was registered on July 1 and lists a 40,600-square-foot two-story classroom addition plus a 2,200-square-foot dance addition with an entry vestibule. The filing also notes site improvements for drainage and irrigation, along with sports-site work that includes turf conversion and replacement and a covered batting cage. The registry lists the campus location as 2801 Gattis School Road and gives an estimated project cost of $30,000,000.
Design Team And Bond Backing
Round Rock ISD planning documents identify PBK Architects as the design firm and list a project budget in district materials of roughly $31 million, with Bartlett Cocke appearing on project schedules. As outlined in Round Rock ISD materials on the 2024 bond, the expansion will be paid with funds approved in the district’s 2024 bond election, which allocated $798.3 million for general projects under Proposition A. District bond planning and annual reports place Cedar Ridge among the campuses moving from design toward construction as the broader program advances.
Timeline And What Neighbors Should Expect
The state registry sets a construction start of May 18, 2027, with a completion target of Nov. 30, 2028, a long-haul schedule that will require phased work around the campus calendar and likely off-site staging. Round Rock ISD has been posting bond updates and says it will share phased construction schedules along with traffic and safety plans as permits and contracts are finalized. Community Impact first flagged the filing and the timeline and reports that additional updates will follow as permitting and contractor selections move forward.
Next Steps
With the project registered and in design, the next public milestones will be contractor selection, permit approvals and the district’s release of a detailed construction schedule that spells out impacts to arrivals, pickups and nearby streets. Parents and neighbors can monitor the state project registry and district bond pages for schedule changes and public notices. We will update this report as Round Rock ISD posts contractor awards, permitting milestones and community notices.
