Northeast ECHS & International High School | Austin ISD 2022 Bond Program

Northeast Early College High School and International High School are co-located and will receive a Phase 1 (of 3-4) modernization as part of the 2022 Bond. The project design is anticipated to begin in fall 2023 and open to students in spring 2028. The Campus Architectural Team, composed of campus staff, parents and community members, will work with the district and project team to determine the scope of the modernization in order to best meet the needs of the students, staff and communities of Northeast and International.

Northeast and International will also receive a secure entry vestibule and improvements to campus systems including, HVAC, electrical, plumbing and roofing repairs as well as a school mental health center and athletic field/locker room upgrades.

Historically Underutilized Business Program (HUB)

Austin ISD's Historically Underutilized Business Program is committed to advancing equity in contracting, ensuring HUB firms can compete fairly and participate in construction-related, bond-funded projects. The HUB Program is a core business strategy for the district, formally adopted by the trustees in August 2016. A HUB is a business that is 51% owned, managed and controlled by a minority or woman — groups that are historically underrepresented in architecture, construction and other professional services. Austin ISD supports one of the most comprehensive public school HUB programs in the nation, providing tools for minority- and women-owned businesses to do business with the district.

Sustainability

Sustainability is top priority for all projects implemented through the 2022 Bond. All modernization projects will be required to reach Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) certification.
