The popularity of the Jack E. Singley Academy of Irving, originally built in 2001, prompted a 64,000-sq-ft addition and 7,000-sq-ft renovation project. The job increased the total size of the school to 262,760 sq ft.
The general contractor, Charter Builders, had to deal with a jobsite just large enough for the new building. Additionally, the existing fire lane surrounding the addition and the rest of the campus had to remain so that the fire department had access around the entire school at all times.
