LISD and Texas Tech hosted a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday for the planned Lubbock ISD AgriSTEM Complex, which is being funded through a portion of the district's $130 million bond package from 2018. The 44-acre campus will be located northeast of 4th Street and Quaker Avenue and is set to open by Fall 2023. Last fall, both institutions announced plans for the Lubbock ISD AgriSTEM Complex, a new facility its leaders say will define the future of agricultural education for local students. The Lubbock community demonstrated its support for educational opportunities in Lubbock ISD through the approval of the 2018 bond package. The bond package included a $10.5 million allocation for this new facility, Lubbock ISD Superintendent Dr. Kathy Rollo said. She said they currently have more than 600 students enrolled in courses with two programs of study - plant science and animal science - and this facility will increase access to agricultural education for all Lubbock ISD high school students. "This opportunity allows for the expansion of current offerings as well as new programs of study in the areas of science and technology, agribusiness, applied agricultural engineering, and environmental and natural resources," Rollo said, adding the project is the result of the "strong vision of many Lubbock ISD stakeholders, district leadership and advisory boards." Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec said the university and Lubbock ISD coming together is a great example of collaboration to help develop the strength of agriculture in the community. "The sustainability of agriculture is so dependent on educating the next generation and this complex is an essential part to help prepare that next generation," Schovanec said. Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees President Zach Brady described the complex as a state-of-the-art learning laboratory to prepare students for post-secondary success in agriculture and natural resources, with technical education specifically targeting job opportunities in our region. "This partnership with Texas Tech University - a Carnegie Tier One university - creates a unique opportunity for students," Brady said. "Now we'll be distinct from any other program in the state of Texas or, in fact, in the United States." _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Lubbock Independent School District is soliciting Request for Proposal for Construction Manager at-Risk Services for the New Agri-Stem Complex The Lubbock ISD reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive all formalities. As part of his/her proposal, the proposer shall demonstrate his/her ability to secure the bonds and insurance described in the proposal documents. The estimated construction budget is $12,750,000. The Lubbock Independent School District (Lubbock ISD) AgriSTEM Complex will provide access to Ag education opportunities to high school students within Lubbock ISD. The site located at the northwest corner of 4 th Street and Quaker Avenue, is centrally located for convenient access, economical bussing and easy access to Marsha Sharp Freeway and North Loop 289. The location also provides opportunities for collaborative learning with Texas Tech University, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other Ag industry partners. The site is predominately located within the 100-year flood plain as indicated by the most current GIS data. To construct the complex on this site, the buildable area will be removed from the flood plain by providing new fill such that the finish floor elevation of any structure is a minimum of one foot above the 100-year flood plain. The A/E anticipates that this dirt work will be extensive. The site will also be required to maintain the current water flow path through site that connects multiple natural occurring playas in the area. The animal barns will be in the northwest corner of the site near the LP&L substation to keep odors from impacting current and future retail space at the southeast corner of the site. The main classroom building is facing Quaker Avenue. Vehicular access, including bus and truck/trailer traffic, will access the site from the north side of the site. Truck/trailer access for loading/unloading will be co-located to reduce vehicular traffic around the site. Extension of offsite utility mains, including water and sanitary sewer, will be required. These utilities will connect to existing utilities along the west side of the site. They will extend to the east along the proposed north roadway. Water will connect to an existing stub-out on the west side of the site and tie into the main water line located in Quaker Avenue. Sanitary sewer will connect to the existing line at along the west property line and will extend along the north property line and possibly south along Quaker Avenue to ensure future development at the southeast corner of the property is adequately served. City of Lubbock water pressure has been confirmed to be within the acceptable range. The classroom building will be traditional steel framing with light gauge steel stud infill. The animal science wing will have an overhead rail system to move carcasses throughout the wing for instruction and basic processing. The rail will require robust structural support and considerations to reduce vibrations. The facility will NOT have a kill floor. The proposed commercial kitchen will contain equipment necessary to process animal meat products. The food lab may also be used for the preparation of banquet meals, etc. There will be multiple walk-in coolers and freezers in the facility as indicated on the schematic floor plans. The central "spine" is the commons/connector that will contain public restrooms, seating, and circulation space. The plant science wing will house two lab spaces, teacher collaboration space and administration offices. There will also be a limited amount of walk-in cooler space in this wing for the floral design curriculum. The plant science wing will also have adjacent access to the proposed greenhouse. Mechanical systems have not been selected for the project, but it should be anticipated that there will be a mixture of VRF and more traditional roof-top package systems. Although the facility is located on Texas Tech University property made available to Lubbock ISD in a land use agreement, exterior construction will not be required to comply with the Texas Tech University campus Spanish Renaissance aesthetic. Exterior finishes will consist of face brick and metal panel systems and minor amounts of limestone to denote the main entrance. The face brick will be the Texas Tech University blend to visually connect with adjacent development. The metal panels and agrarian architecture will aesthetically indicate the building's function and purpose. Roofing will consist of a mixture of metal panels and single-ply roofing membrane. Interior finishes will be durable and consistent with the level of quality at recently completed Lubbock ISD campuses. Specialty finishes will be provided to meet industry standards for cleanability, bacterial growth prevention, and durability in the meat and animal science portion of the facility. The 500-person arena will be constructed utilizing a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) system. The arena will have concrete floors and collapsible bleachers for a space that is easy to change for various needs and functions. In addition to the arena, the animal barns located at the northwest corner of the site will be constructed utilizing the PEMB systems. The barns will have open sides with mesh infill allowing for ventilation. Roll covers will be provided to provide protection from prevailing winds in the winter months. In addition to animal pens, the animal barns will contain wash bays, food and equipment lockers and storage. The animal barns will also have attached pen space for animal exercise. As shown in the conceptual site plan, Texas Tech University plans to develop the southeast corner of the property. This development is NOT a component of this project. However, Lubbock ISD will construct a parking lot containing approximately 300 parking spaces that will be shared parking with the future development. The AgriSTEM Complex will include the paving of the existing unimproved road on the north side of the site. This road will be used by not only Lubbock ISD students and staff, but also by Texas Tech University staff and LP&L. Access to neighboring properties will need to be maintained during construction.
