Rockwall ISD Board Approves Schematic Design

On March 21, 2022, the District’s architectural consulting firm Corgan Architects presented to the Board of Trustees the Schematic Design of the future Rockwall High School and Rockwall-Heath High School Ninth Grade Campuses.  Generally speaking, the schematic design is the first phase of basic services for project design.  At this stage in a project, the design professional typically describes the project three-dimensionally.  A range of alternative design concepts are explored to define the character of the completed project and an optimum realization of the project program.

Corgan Architects conducted approximately 40 meetings and focus groups involving students, parents, teachers, instructional coordinators, department directors and principals to develop the conceptual deism of the new Ninth Grade Campuses.  As a result, architects presented all of this information to the Board of Trustees at the regularly scheduled board meeting on March 21, 2022. 

Over the next several months, Corgan Architects will continue to work with District leadership and stakeholders to refine the schematic design into construction documents that can be sent out to bid in the Fall of 2022.  The District currently anticipates being able to break ground on both Ninth Grade Campuses in late 2022 with an expected opening date of August 2024.
