The Spire, AECOM M, and Austin ISD teams partnered with Flintco, LLC, and Kirksey Architecture to celebrate the topping out ceremony of Wooten Elementary School—a major construction milestone marking the completion of its structural steel.

Wooten Elementary School celebrated this time-honored “topping out” ceremony as part of the 2022 AISD Bond. The new campus blends innovation with legacy – honoring the school’s rich heritage while embracing the future with state-of-the-art technology, vibrant green spaces, playful furnishings, and dynamic learning environments.

We’re proud to support a project that will have a lasting impact on the Wooten community.

From breaking down our 2024 efforts to defining our 2025 goals, every session was focused on alignment and action. Through breakout discussions, lessons learned, and a shared vision for what’s ahead, we’re walking away with a plan and the team to make it happen!

Swipe through for a look at the moments that shaped this year’s summit.

Monday, we had the pleasure of hosting a TASA Midwinter Conference Rooftop Happy Hour alongside O'Connell Robertson and Bartlett Cocke General Contractors. It was an evening of meaningful conversations, stunning rooftop views, and a fun touch of creativity from our live caricature artist.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—it was a privilege to connect with such an incredible group of professionals.
