Visual and Performing Arts Center

Client: Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District
Market: K-12 Education
Discipline: Architecture + Interiors
Project Area: 85,000 sq. ft.

Cy-Fair ISD’s much-anticipated new visual and performing arts center — a multitiered facility with the capacity for an audience of 1,500 people — is expected to be complete in 2022, making its debut as a venue for student shows and performances.

The future VPAC, and an adjacent administration building, are currently in the design phase and are intended to be completed by December and November 2022 respectively. Both will be constructed on a 26-acre plot of land located west of Cy-Fair High School near U.S. 290 bordered by Cypress North Houston Road and Matzke Road. The projects were approved as part of the $1.762 billion bond passed by voters in 2019.

Brandon Ross, representative with PBK Architects, who are designing both buildings, said the intention of building them both on the same parcel was to allow ease of access for the community.

 “It’s an efficient use of a parcel for the district and it allowed us to maximize the use of that land to house both buildings,” Ross said during the Dec. 14 school board meeting. “All of the appropriate site parking, paving, delivery loading areas are on one site. …It allows for a smaller floor plate, a more efficient building, stacking things vertically in both buildings and supporting them so that visitors, occupants and employees can completely access both buildings.”
