Wasn't the UTRGV / Harlingen High School only like $14 million? I remember that it seemed such a small amount for a high school these days.

This will be Edinburg's 5th high school, 6th if you count IDEA.

UTRGV-Edinburg CISD Collegiate High School completion delayed

At a budget workshop meeting on Monday, Edinburg CISD gave an update to the collegiate high school with UTRGV which is now projecting completion by late May or early June, later than originally planned.

The UTRGV-Edinburg CISD Collegiate High School is a 66,000-square-foot facility. The university and the school district split the projected $30 million cost for the project.

The Monitor received a tour of the high school in early February where officials said it was about 75% done with estimated completion around April.

In the presentation during the meeting, a spreadsheet listed the high school as 86% complete with substantial completion by June 13.

ECISD Director of Facilities Roberto Gomez said the goal is to try to finish by the end of May. Gomez added the extended deadline for the contractors was due to permit processes and weather days.
