Bond 2025 Update: Planning & Design in Progress

Fairfield ISD is moving forward with the design of the new Fairfield High School, the centerpiece of Bond 2025. Our team continues to work closely with Claycomb Associates, Architects to ensure every part of the new campus supports student success.

Collaborative Planning Sessions

Over the past several months, Fairfield ISD staff and administrators have participated in five separate planning meetings with Claycomb Associates. These sessions focused on specialized program areas such as Band, Agricultural Science, Dual Credit Welding, Life Skills, and Cosmetology.

During each meeting, teachers and program directors collaborated directly with architects to discuss the specific needs of their spaces — from classroom flow and equipment placement to safety and accessibility. Every conversation and adjustment is helping shape a learning environment that reflects how our students learn, create, and grow.

Design Refinement & Schematic Layout

Following these sessions, Jeffrey Floyd from Claycomb Architects presented the schematic design of the new high school to the Board of Trustees. This design shows how the building will be laid out and represents the combined input of teachers from multiple departments, campus administrators, and district leaders.

In total, about five collaborative design meetings have taken place, with each one leading to small but meaningful refinements. A few minor adjustments are still expected before the team moves into the detailed design phase of the building’s interior.

We anticipate having schematic drawings available to share soon, and we know our community is eager to see what’s ahead for Fairfield ISD.

What’s Next

Site surveyors are finishing their reports, which are essential for the next steps in the design process. Sitework is projected to begin this summer, with construction expected to take about two years.

Our goal remains to open the new Fairfield High School in August 2028, just in time for the start of the school year.

Fairfield ISD is grateful for our community’s continued support and excitement as we take these important steps toward building for the future.
