The Pecos-Barstow-Toyah Independent School District (PBTISD) is set to begin construction on a new $26 million Administration Building, following the issuance of permits and approval of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) by the district’s Board of Trustees. The facility, located at 1301 S. Eddy St., will consolidate essential district operations and provide modern office spaces designed to enhance efficiency and collaboration.
Spanning 34,745 square feet, the building will house key departments, including administration, academics, human resources, business, student services, and special education. It will also feature a dedicated history area to honor PBTISD’s educational legacy, ensuring the district’s impact is commemorated for future generations.
Superintendent Brent Jaco highlighted the importance of the project, stating, “The approval of this project demonstrates the district’s commitment to investing in the infrastructure necessary to support the success of our students, staff, and community. This new Administration Building will not only provide modern and efficient office spaces but will also honor the proud history of education in PBTISD, serving as a cornerstone for future generations.”
Funded through capital funds, not the 2023 bond package, the project reflects the district’s mission to inspire and empower students while maintaining a focus on state-of-the-art learning environments and authentic relationships within the community.
Construction is expected to begin in early 2025, with completion anticipated by November 2027. In the interim, the PBTISD Administration staff has relocated to a temporary office at 1800 S. Eddy St. Once completed, the facility will serve as a central hub for district operations, fostering innovation and streamlining services to better meet the needs of students, families, and staff.
