Dear Ms. Hernandez:
Alamo Heights Independent School District, as part of their recently passed 2023 Bond program, is
proposing replacement of the main Academic Building on the High School Campus. The existing
building, located on Broadway and Castano Ave, will be demolished and a newly constructed 148,350
square foot academic building is proposed in a similar building footprint. The new building will hold
administrative, counseling, and teacher support offices in addition to bringing the academic areas up to
TEA and 21st
century educational standards.
The proposed design draws many elements from the existing high school on the street facing facades
to continue the long-standing character of the High School campus. The building is proposed as three
stories and set amongst the numerous heritage oaks on the site. To reduce the impact of the increased
building height (50’), the third floor of the building is set back from the main façade.
During the construction phase, temporary facilities to maintain school operations will be required.
Portable classrooms are proposed on the southeast corner of campus on the existing artificial turf
soccer field and on the parking lot. The proposed portable classroom layout will hold 60 classrooms
along with administration, counseling, and special education spaces. Additionally, to partially offset
the loss of parking spaces on campus due to the construction, a temporary parking lot with 98 spaces
will be constructed on the Southwest corner of Castano Ave and Broadway. The total overall parking
during construction with be approximately 92 fewer spaces than existing. The school district is
exploring additional ways to alleviate the impact of parking spaces on the neighborhood during this
two-year period.
Due to the current zoning, we anticipate applying for a special use permit for the campus to include
variance from the building area, building height, front yard set back, front yard impervious area, front
yard driveway, and campus floor area ratio. Documentation required for this permit will be forthcoming
in 2024.
Please find the attached documents exhibiting the proposed construction and temporary facilities. We
thank you for your consideration and look forward to working with you on this important project.
Sincerely,
Eric Baumgartner
Project Manager
