Adolfson & Peterson Construction (AP), a national, family-owned construction management and contracting company, broke ground on 97,350 square feet of renovation projects for Austin Independent School District’s (AISD) McCallum and Anderson High Schools on May 5 and 12, respectively.
Local dignitaries, AISD leaders and students participated in the groundbreaking ceremonies with the AP team.
“AP recognizes the incredible responsibility and honor of creating spaces where students can learn and flourish by delivering quality renovations that enhance the educational environment,” said Tommy Meserole, AP’s Senior Director of Preconstruction. “Schools are the heart of the community, fostering growth and connection and we are dedicated to providing exceptional work to support these campuses.”
Opened in 1955, McCallum High School’s expansion includes the Science and CTE department, with AP constructing a modern, three-story, 54,000-square-foot building with computer labs, robotics, wood shop,

Additionally, AP will reconfigure the secure entry vestibule and remodel the front office. AP’s contracted $32 million updates will accommodate 1,542 students. The total project cost for AISD is almost $67 million.
Anderson High School, at 8403 Mesa Dr. in Northwest Austin, was built in 1970. The renovation includes a 43,350-square-foot competition gym with an 1,800-seat capacity and locker rooms with coaches’ offices, training rooms, officials’ dressing rooms and laundry. Common spaces will feature a Hall of Honor and trophy cases, while the entry vestibule and front office will be reconfigured for security. AP’s contracted $24 million project is designed to accommodate the school’s 2,397 students. AISD’s total project cost is more than $47 million.
Targeted completion for the construction and renovation projects is January 2027. PBK Architects designed both schools.
