Ford Middle School's track, bleachers and press box would be rebuilt in a $7 million Allen ISD project starting Dec. 15

Allen ISD plans to rebuild the track and field at Ford Middle School, along with its bleachers and press box, in a project the district values at $7 million.

The district registered the work with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on Thursday, Nov. 5, under the name "Ford MS Renos - Phase 1." State law requires that kind of filing so a registered accessibility specialist can review plans and later inspect the finished work.

According to the registration:

• Location: Ford Middle School, 630 Park Place Drive
• Scope: renovation of the track and field, including bleachers and a press box
• Estimated cost: $7 million, listed as a project using public funds
• Size: 9,848 square feet of work
• Schedule: start Dec. 15, 2026, with completion listed for Aug. 1, 2027
• Designer: VLK Architects of Plano

Those dates would put most of the construction in the spring semester and the summer break that follows.

The filing calls this the first phase of renovations at the campus. It does not describe what a later phase would include or when it might happen, and the district has not posted details of the project on its own site.

Dates and costs in state registrations are estimates entered at the time of filing and can change as a project is bid and built. The registration lists Allen ISD's administration building on North Watters Road as the owner contact.
