H.B. Zachry Middle School, originally constructed in 1981, transitioned to a magnet school focused on developing global leaders in Cybersecurity in 2021. Our team led a significant addition and renovation project to create a modern learning environment aligned with this new mission.

The project included a state-of-the-art addition featuring 10 magnet classrooms, 2 computer labs, a collaborative maker space, and a unique mock intermediate distribution frame (IDF) room—the only one in Northside ISD. The centerpiece, a Learning Stair, connects the two floors with its wide Birch veneer steps, serving as both seating and a space for presentations.

Constructed in three phases, the project faced challenges, including maintaining functionality while school was in session. The team expertly coordinated logistics, from reworking the bus loop to constructing temporary administration spaces. A waterproofed wall protected the existing building during the addition's construction, ensuring structural integrity while meeting deadlines.

The completed facility now enhances the educational experience for students, proudly reflecting the school’s new identity and commitment to excellence.
