The new Crockett Middle School, located along Hwy. 183 in Irving, Texas, replaces the original 1950s facility with a modern, four-story design. Five key principles emerged during the planning and design phase: making the media center the heart of the school, incorporating diverse collaboration spaces, including a lecture hall to support leadership-focused curriculum, designing for capacity with four stories, and creating a striking visual presence that reflects Irving ISD's growth. The facility features a four-story classroom tower, a two-story storm shelter, fine arts spaces, a competition gym with a stage, and outdoor learning areas, including a specialized CTE/art courtyard.
