Architect: Pfluger Associates Architects and O’Neill Conrad Oppelt
Method of Delivery: CSP
Start/Complete: 04/03 - 06/05

Bartlett Cocke General Contractors finished constructing Shertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District’s high school campus, Byron P. Steele II High School, which was complete in July 2005 and opened for the 2005-2006 school year. With an initial capacity for 2000 students, this high school was designed on the “school within a school” concept.

The school is two (2) stories and was designed with a main mall and includes four (4) main wings that house each “school within a school”. Each “school within a school” wing houses its own administrative area that includes a vice principal and counselor that works directly with those students in that school.

Besides the normal classroom space, the new high school includes ancillary facilities such as athletic fields, library, cafeteria, 900 seat auditorium, food service areas, band hall, competition and practice gymnasiums, science laboratories, computer labs, vocational labs, and administrative offices. This project was completed under a 24 month construction schedule.

Method of Delivery: CM-at-Risk
Start/Complete: 05/03 - 05/05

Bartlett Cocke General Contractors completed the Northside Independent School District's high school campus, John Paul Stevens High School, which opened in the summer 2005 with an initial capacity for approximately 2,700 students and a core capacity to grow to 3,000 students. Located on a 75-acre site of the 1987 Papal Mass, the high school was one of nine new schools approved by voters in a 2001 bond issue.

The school is two stories and was designed to allow an abundance of natural light. It includes ancillary facilities such as athletic fields, library, cafeteria, food service areas, 980 seat auditorium, band hall, competition and practice gymnasiums, science labs, computer labs and administrative offices. Several innovative techniques were used in the construction of John Paul Stevens High School. Use of a temporary mud/styrofoam slab over a sloped auditorium floor allowed access to the 40+ foot high ceiling with motorized lifts in lieu of scaffolding the entire auditorium, saving thousands of dollars.

Constructed under the Construction Manager-at-Risk delivery method, this project was completed under a 24 month construction schedule. Several issues faced during construction were to incorporate 14 classroom additions to the project midway through construction without delaying the entire project. Also, Bartlett Cocke General Contractors had to absorb the bankruptcy of our electrical subcontractor with four months to go until the project was completed without delaying the completion of the project.

The use of glass adds to the open feeling in these areas, as well as providing a distinctive view of the wooded lots surrounding the school.

Established in 1951, MacArthur High School was the first high school facility in the North East Independent School District. The task at hand was to replace the oldest high school campus in the District, with a completely new campus, while the school remained operational. Built under the Construction Manager-at-Risk project delivery method, demolition and new construction was phased over a three (3) year period, and was completed on-time and under-budget. Modeled on the Reagan High School program, this campus is designed for 2500 students with core facilities for 3000. The campus includes 60 regular classrooms, 32 specialty classrooms, 18 computer labs, 15 science labs, 2 art and vocational labs, as well as core facilities such as a library, cafeteria, remodeled auditorium, clinic, teacher workroom, athletic building, football field, baseball field, softball field, soccer field, band practice field, tennis courts, and running track. The entire facility is tied together by, and surrounds a courtyard large enough for the entire student population.

This project received the 2003 Associated Builders & Contractors Excellence in Construction Award.
