Pfluger Designs a Future-Focused Campus for Cornerstone High School

At the new Cornerstone Christian Schools High School campus, career and technical education will be part of the everyday student experience.

As part of the overall campus master plan and long-term vision for the school, Pfluger is designing a dedicated Career and Technical Education facility that will support construction trades, welding, and automotive programs — creating opportunities for students to develop real-world skills in environments that reflect future career pathways.

Integrated within the total campus plan, the CTE building helps make hands-on learning visible and accessible, reinforcing that technical education is a valued and important part of student success and the future workforce as the project moves toward completion in 2028.

Pfluger is proud to support Region 15 ESC with Lakes Center, a new 15,000-square-foot building designed to give people a flexible place to gather, learn, and connect.

Originally considered as an addition, the project became a ground-up building to give Region 15 more opportunity to host events, trainings, and gatherings for community partners. At its center will be a conference space that can subdivide into five rooms, shift for different meeting needs, or open as one continuous gathering space, supporting everything from smaller focused sessions to larger shared experiences.

When completed, a large glass wall will open the conference space to a porch and outdoor space, creating a welcoming setting for connection, collaboration, and shared learning.

We’re proud to help Region 15 create a place that will bring educators, partners, and community members together.

Curiosity was at the center of a morning spent with 22 third-grade students in San Antonio.

As part of UTSA - The University of Texas at San Antonio Kids Initiating Design Solutions (UTSA KIDS), students spent the semester learning about architecture. Their final learning experience brought them to Pfluger’s San Antonio office and Historic Pearl for a closer look at how buildings, stories, and places come together.

Guided by Pfluger Project Architect Agustin Salinas, students learned how our team works, how projects take shape, and how many different people help bring an idea to life. At The Pearl, they explored the history of a former brewery site whose reinvention has helped shape one of San Antonio’s most recognizable destinations for food, gathering, culture, and community.

For students, it was a chance to see architecture beyond the classroom. For our team, it was a reminder that design starts with people, questions, and the places that shape our communities.

Thank you to UTSA KIDS for inviting us to be part of this experience.

A future generation of designers spent the morning with us in San Antonio.

Last week, Pfluger welcomed 80 students from the SAISD-Young Women's Leadership Academy to our San Antonio office and Historic Pearl as part of an architecture class they're taking this semester. We shared how we work and how a project comes together from design through construction, and the students met us with thoughtful questions and fresh perspectives that reminded us why this work matters.

Time at The Pearl offered a chance to trace its history and transformation over the years. Once a 19th-century brewery that closed its doors in 2001, The Pearl has been reborn through adaptive reuse into a thriving mixed-use district, widely regarded as one of the country's best examples of historic preservation and new design working hand in hand. It's a living example of what thoughtful design can do for a place, turning a neighborhood's past into its future.

Thank you to the students and staff of the Young Women's Leadership Academy for spending the morning with us. We design for people first, and San Antonio is stronger when we invest in one another.

Mornings like this are a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.
