Sweetwater welcomes new Lake Travis Middle School to the neighborhood
The latest aerial photo of Sweetwater shows the new Lake Travis Middle School finishing completion and ready to open in a couple of weeks for the 2014-15 school year. The new school is located on 32 acres overlooking Highway 71, just across from Sweetwater. The middle school is moving here from its prior location next to Lake Travis High School as a result of continued growth in western Travis County and the Lake Travis School District. The new school was built with a budget of over $53 million and has a 1,200 student capacity designed to accommodate future growth-it will open with just over 1,000 students this fall. The school includes over 225,000 square feet of space, state of the art technology, innovative design throughout the classrooms and building, flexible learning spaces, and top-of-the-line athletic facilities. The convenience of this beautiful new school gives Sweetwater residents one more reason to love living here.
