CY-FAIR HIGH SCHOOL RENOVATION PROJECT EARNS 'BEST OF 2001' AWARD FROM TEXAS CONSTRUCTION MAGAZINE



The project team involved with the $30 million renovation project at Cy-Fair High School has received the Award of Excellence for a Public Project by the monthly Texas Construction magazine. The school was highlighted in a special edition of the magazine in December 2001.

The article recognizes the project team for the work completed on the 62-year-old high school, which endured a complete interior demolition and reconstruction of nearly every area of its 450,000-square-feet campus. The team was also lauded for rebuilding the center of the L-shaped school without interruption to the instruction of students.

Members of the project team were: Gilbane Building Company, general contractor; PBK Architects, Inc., architect; Jones/Borne Inc., structural engineer; Brooks and Sparks, Inc., civil engineer; R.H. George and Associates, Inc., mechanical and electrical engineer.

Other features of the renovation spotlighted in the Texas Construction article included Cy-Fair High's new math and science wing, completely rebuilt classrooms, a state-of-the-art library, a new kitchen and cafeteria, and the new central corridor that spans the entire 850 feet of the building.

The project team was also commended for preserving the wooden floors of the old gymnasium that the 1971 Cy-Fair basketball team played on when the school won the national high school championship. The floor is now on display in the new library's "Texas Room."
