$50M proposal unveiled to replace Robb Elementary School in Uvalde | School will be funded by donations
"This was a really emotional experience for me, and I think many of the other committee members," Natalia Arias, co-chair of the community advisory committee for the project, said Monday night during a presentation of the proposal. "We had to really think hard about what types of people needed to feel the safest and the most proud of the space."
The group has not proposed a name for the new school, instead saying that process will take more time. The current Robb Elementary School building will be demolished, but plans to redevelop the site have yet to be released. Huckabee Architects, the architecture firm that has donated a value of $8 million of their labor to the project, plans to break ground on the school in June 2023. The school will be finished in October 2024, according to the project principal, Jeff Rodriguez.
