Richardson West Junior High is set for a full reconstruction into a middle school after City Council unanimously approved zoning changes March 9. The reconstruction is part of Richardson ISD’s larger initiative to convert all junior highs into middle schools by fall 2028. This will add sixth graders to the junior highs that currently serve seventh and eighth grade.

The overview: Richardson West Junior High, the arts and technology magnet school, is located on a 40-acre site shared with Richardson High School. James Watson, RISD’s senior executive director of operations, said the constraints of the site do not allow room for building expansion to accommodate the additional students, or the temporary classrooms that would be needed during renovations. Therefore, a new three-story West will be constructed on the site of the Richardson High School baseball stadium, located next to the current junior high building. When the new middle school is complete, the junior high will be demolished and a new baseball stadium will be constructed in its place.

Modern Market closed its Richardson location on Feb. 24, according to a notice posted to the building.

The details: Modern Market serves bowls, salads, sandwiches and pizza. There are still three Texas locations open in north Dallas, Southlake and Las Colinas.
