ANOTHER CHAPTER OF HISTORY WITH LEARNING SPACES OF TOMORROW
WRA began working with Mesquite ISD in 1962 and for over 50 years has performed 20 phases of construction on the campus. As a registered landmark, the renovation design retains the historic Art Deco character, while adding a storm shelter, renewing damaged areas of the building, upgrading classrooms to current TEA standards, increasing capacity, improving onsite traffic flow, and eliminating all portables. Inside, the school now offers 21st Century learning spaces with collaboration areas, modular furniture throughout, and a technology bar.
