Adolfson & Peterson Construction (AP) recently announced that it has broken ground on two renovation projects for the Austin Independent School District, according to a news release. The work at McCallum and Anderson High Schools totals 97,350 square feet and is scheduled for completion in January 2027. The district also partnered with PBK Architects for design work on both schools.

McCallum High School will be expanded to include a new space for the Science and CTE department, a three-story building measuring 54,000 square feet. The space will include space for robotics, wood shop, biology, chemistry, physics, and computer labs. The school’s existing science wing will be demolished. Work also includes a new, secure vestibule and remodeling the front office.

“AP recognizes the incredible responsibility and honor of creating spaces where students can learn and flourish by delivering quality renovations that enhance the educational environment,” said AP Senior Director of Preconstruction Tommy Meserole. “Schools are the heart of the community, fostering growth and connection and we are dedicated to providing exceptional work to support these campuses.”

Meanwhile, Anderson High School will see a new 43,350-square-foot competition gym with the capacity for 1,800 spectators, locker rooms and coaches’ offices, training rooms, laundry, and officials’ dressing rooms. The school’s front office and entry vestibule will also be reconfigured for security, according to the news release.

“The new athletic facilities are more than just a place to play; they’re vital for developing teamwork, discipline and physical well-being,” said Brian Lancaster, Anderson High School Principal. “They provide a platform for students to build character, learn important life skills and foster a sense of community and school pride.”
