The new District Sports Gym is currently under construction and is on a portion of the existing Farris Athletic Complex in San Antonio, Texas. Current planning for the new District Sports Gym building will consist of a single court basketball/volleyball venue with 2,500 individual spectator seats, venue-appropriate sound reinforcement and acoustic design, multi-purpose and audiovisual rooms, large conference room, two sets of home/visitor team spaces, facilities for officials, public restrooms, concessions sales/support spaces, and administrative offices for athletic personnel and staff including toilet room and storage spaces. The gym building will also include facility support functions including receiving dock and storage, maintenance offices and ground crew support spaces. Planning will provide for future technology and audiovisual upgrades to the building.
As one of the largest districts in Texas and with a rapidly growing student population, Northside Independent School District has been in need of a New Sports Gymnasium. The construction progress is now 35% complete and will soon be a premier facility at the Farris Athletic Complex for district sporting events.
