A BRAND NEW SBEC IS COMING YOUR WAY

Most of the SBEC campus has been torn down to make way for new construction. AOC and CSA are located at the Edgewood Transition Campus for 18 months while new buildings are constructed. Both AOC and CSA will have their own stand-alone two story buildings while enjoying beautiful landscaping and design. We will share a new cafeteria. The auditorium, gyms, and DAEP building will remain. The current SBEC library will be turned into an SBISD History Museum. All organizations will have their own dedicated entrances secured with a "Buzz-In" system. We are scheduled to be back to a new building during the Winter Break of the 2016-2017 school year.

Blueprints of the proposed new construction can be found in our front office.

Due to weather and construction delays (i.e. finding septic tanks underground we didn't know about) we may not get into our building until the summer of 2017.

Jill and I completed a walk through of the building (9/2016) and it is looking fantastic. The windows overlooking the courtyard let in an amazing amount of light. The drywall is being put into place in the main two buildings (AOC and CSA). We are hoping that we can at least have graduation and the Spring Performances in the new building. Cross your fingers that we get the occupation permits by the Spring.

We just completed another walk though of the building and it is still awesome (12/2016). The cabinets are being installed and the rooms look like actual rooms. There are three elevators with one being in the AOC building, one in the CSA building, and one between the SBISD Museum and the auditorium. This elevator will have two doors with one door opening to the museum and the other door opening to the auditorium balcony. The courtyard between AOC and CSA is huge and will be a great place for the kids to hang out. A few of the trees were left right in the middle of the courtyard.

April 2017 - We are almost there and building/grounds are looking fantastic. We will be allowed temporary occupancy to allow teachers to unpack their rooms at the end of the year for one week. At this point, we do not have permission to use the building for any other purposes including tours :(
