New Crandall Middle School

Crandall Middle School’s new campus is set to open to students in August for the 2022-23 school year. The campus is located on a 27-acre site in the Heartland Development.

This new facility is unique for Crandall ISD–creating spaces for collaboration and adaptability were major driving factors from the early phases of conception and design. Another factor in the school’s design is the idea that learning can happen anywhere, so the entire building should serve as a learning tool.

The school is focused on Fine Arts and features a double-sided stage, flanked by the cafeteria and gymnasium. The gymnasium was designed as the primary auditorium space and will seat 1,900 occupants.

Flexible labs are centered in the academic wing, able to transform into a science lab, computer lab, or maker space, depending on the need. The library shelving will be distributed throughout the academic wing, with the circulation desk guarding entry to the two-story student commons.

The 193,000 square-foot school will house all seventh and eighth grades, with a capacity of 1,200 students.

Funding came from the remaining 2017 bond funds.
