$34M Agricultural Sciences Center Breaks Ground

The Katy, TX Independent School District began construction on a new $34 million Agricultural Sciences Center, located at 5825 Katy Hockley Cut Off Road. The facility, which is on the 125-acre Gerald D. Young Agricultural Sciences Center, is anticipated to be open by February 2019. That would be just in time for the 76th KISD Rodeo and Livestock Show.

The complex will include a multipurpose show arena, a project center building, eco pond, and multi-purpose covered outdoor arena with stadium seating. Though the square footage of the development was not immediately available, it is being built because the district has outgrown its L.D. Robinson Pavilion, where many of the livestock shows and events took place.

The complex is the final development project to use the district’s 2014 bond funds.
