The Grand Oaks Feeder 7-9 Campus School project is underway and moving forward. More steel supplied by Myrex industries is currently being erected by Gulf Coast Erectors. Above is the project video with new footage starting at 0:58.
One of the fastest growing school districts in the state, Conroe ISD, is currently in the process of building a new 7th to 9th grade campus. The new school was part of the $1.9 billion bond package that was approved by voters in 2023 to fund eight new school campuses.
Project Overview
The new 7th-9th campus is set to open August 2027 and will be a total of 391,000 square feet. The new school is located directly behind Grand Oaks High School. The construction is being carried out in 15 phases, with Ellisor Constructors, Inc. serving as the general contractor overseeing the project. To keep the project on schedule, two cranes are being used simultaneously during steel erection. Supporting the structure is 2,097 tons of fabricated steel, supplied and fabricated by the team here at Myrex Industries.
Creating Unique Designs: Grand Oaks Feeder School Arches
One of the most unique and striking design elements of the new Grand Oaks Feeder 7–9 Campus School is the eye-catching arches. While the arches add a beautiful and aesthetic design to the entrance, they also demonstrate the versatility and strength of structural steel. While steel provides the much-needed support for the building as a whole, it can also be used to create and support architectural features.
Structural Steel: Supporting Modern Educational Buildings
Modern educational facilities require more than just space. The materials and design need to be flexible, durable, and strong. Structural steel offers unmatched strength to allow for large, open spaces, such as auditoriums, cafeterias, gyms, and multipurpose spaces. This is especially important for school districts with a growing population. Steel is a material that not only meets the construction and design needs but will provide the building with support for decades.
