    Another Proud Addition ProjectBy: Ray Castillo, Controls Manager

    One of the FWISD schools that received an addition as part of the 2007

    Capital Improvement Program is Carroll Peak Elementary School. Designedby Camargo-Copeland Architects and built by Steele & Freeman Inc., thebuilding addition includes ten classrooms, a computer lab, music, science and

    art classrooms, two resource rooms, a special education classroom, a teacherlounge and workroom, and five offices. Completed in the fall of 2011, the

    21,153 SF building is located on the east side of the school. Two newplayground areas, a basketball court, an underground water detention system,

    and thirteen additional parking places were also provided by this project. Thecommunity, parents, student and faculty have enjoyed their new addition and

    renovations this past year and for sure will continue to enjoy them for many

    years to come!

    The summer 2012 construction effort has wrapped up and the District is eager

    to welcome the students and staff back from their summer break.They will bereturning to facilities that have received additional renovation work, as thegrand finale to the 2007 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). This district-

    wide work effort was performed using savings generated, in part, througheffective administration of the CIP.

    Careful coordination has taken place with the school principals, to make sureour work did not interfere with their ongoing preparation for the start of school.Our special appreciation goes to the academic leadership of the Fort Worth

    ISD for their support and guidance through this, and past, intense summerconstruction efforts; the success of the CIP would not have been possible

    without your partnership. We also appreciate the support of contractors,architects and many others that have worked hard to achieve these results.

    On behalf of the CIP and AECOM staffs, we welcome students and staff totheir freshly renovated learning environments and wish you much success in2012/13.

    Congratulations Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISDBy: Kristabel Lopez, Program Executive

    The AECOM staff in Dallas/Fort Worth joins in congratulating our peers atCarrollton-Farmers Branch ISD for successfully completing the new Good

    Elementary School, a brand new replacement school built with 2003 bondfunds. After the students, alumni, staff and community said their goodbyes,

    the original 1956 campus was torn down during the summer 2012.

    Johnny Hibbs, Chief Operations Officer for Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISDshared One key thing is that this replacement building was constructed while

    the existing school was fully operational.

    The new building in many instanceswas within 15 feet of the existing structure. The picture taken on February 4,as two large pieces of air conditioning equipment were set in place on the roof

    of the new building under construction, illustrates how close the old and newbuildings were on site.

    R. E. Good Elementary School is named for Rex E. Good, a descendent of

    the Good family of pioneers who first came to Carrollton in the early 1900s.Congratulations to the project team and entire Carrollton-Farmers Branch

    community!
