Anson I.S.D. Campus Improvements | Anson, Texas

Thirty miles north of Abilene, along highway 277 is a small town of nearly 3,000. Anson, Texas is a community full of wonderful people who live and breathe red and black. One of the greatest things about the small towns in Texas is the public's support of the local schools on every platform.



In November of 2006, the people in Anson spoke up and passed a bond that would greatly improve the school facilities. With that money, the district would be able to add a new classroom wing to the middle school campus, a gymnasium at the middle school and a brand new competition gymnasium with adequate dressing and facilities for the high school - something the district was in great need of.


The piers were drilled...

The concrete poured...

and the buildings went up!

Here are some shots of the new special events center completed.


A large, open foyer with concessions


Coaches offices with views to the gym

Competition gymnasium with fixed seating and beautiful glue-laminated beams in lieu of standard steel construction added such an impressive, warm and traditional look.



The Special Events Center was successfully completed in 2009, coming in at $174.80/sf including design and construction fees.
