Edinburg CISD | Performing Arts Center

Broaddus & Associates provided bond program management services for Edinburg CISD’s $112 million 2008 bond program, which included three new freestanding fine arts facilities at the district’s existing high schools. Delivered using the CMAR method, the projects benefited from a proven architectural design that was adapted to each campus, allowing the district to accelerate construction while reducing design costs.

Broaddus leveraged economies of scale through streamlined submittal and RFI processes, bulk material purchasing, and simultaneous bidding for all three facilities, generating additional cost savings. The team also provided on-site construction representation and applied experience from similar fine arts projects throughout South Texas. Each facility was designed with flexible classroom configurations, allowing the 358-seat venues to qualify for IFA funding by accommodating three separate classrooms of 150 seats or fewer.
