The School of Science and Technology (SST), a charter school specializing in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, has initiated the construction of its new facility in Sugar Land. The SST Sugar Land College Prep High School campus, designed by Alamo Architects and constructed by Bartlett Cocke General Contractors, marks a significant development in STEM-based learning.
Covered by VBX since April 2022, the upcoming high school spans approximately 86,575 square feet and features a comprehensive layout, incorporating a soccer field, athletic courts, parking facilities, drives, and general landscaping. The expensive 11-acre site will host a steel-framed building with concrete foundations, exterior cold-formed framing, aluminum window systems, and facades adorned with exterior metal panels and stucco.
With an expected completion date of August 2025, the SST Sugar Land College Prep High School aims to equip students with a STEM-focused education, aligning them with a coveted skill set for the workforce. The emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics is integral to the school’s mission, preparing students to enter the professional arena with a strong foundation in these key disciplines.
“We are excited to offer a new academic opportunity in the Fort Bend area to students who are interested in a program designed to stimulate their STEM curiosity. We understand that there are many options from which to choose, but we are inviting students, no matter where they live in this great metropolitan city, to come and experience a curriculum developed to prepare them for a rewarding career in STEM or any profession of their choice,” Atnan Ekin, SST Houston Region’s Executive Director said, per reports.
As the project progresses, VBX continues to provide updates on this noteworthy initiative, contributing to the ongoing narrative of educational advancement and the integration of STEM principles in modern learning environments. The new high school in Sugar Land represents a commitment to fostering a dynamic educational space tailored to the evolving needs of students pursuing STEM-related fields.
Ekin continued, “Our absolute goal is to ensure that our students, even if they decide to not go to college right away after high school, still have the valuable skillsets and personal character to get a good job.”
