Brazos County Commission Awards A Demolition Contract That Includes Taking Down The Former Bryan ISD Administration Building

The days are numbered for the former Bryan ISD administration building in downtown Bryan. Brazos County commissioners, who in November 2021 bought the original bank building, awarded a demolition contract at its April ninth meeting. Before the unanimous vote, commissioners Steve Aldrich and Nancy Berry brought up the implosion of the former Plaza Hotel at Texas and University that took place in May 2012. Berry, who was College Station mayor, pressed the button that brought down the 17 story structure. The contract breaks down the cost to $264,000 dollars to demolish and clear the site at Texas Avenue and William Joel Bryan Parkway, another $40,000 to remove two portable buildings at the juvenile justice center, and $7,000 to remove from the county jail, what was described as a “center house”. The demolition contract follows the commission’s vote in December 2023 to award a contract to design a new building at the former site of the BISD/bank building. At that time, county judge Duane Peters said a final decision had not been made as to who will occupy the new building.
