Since its early planning phase in the late 1990s, the San Antonio Humane Society (SAHS) campus was envisioned to be a warm, welcoming center for pet adoption. The Phase 1 Adoption Center and Clinic (2002) transformed the organization with its open, accessible format. Phase 2, the Leeu Naylor Medical Building (2021) expanded the organization’s impact through spay/neuter services. The proposed Phase 3 Education Center will complete a decades-long journey of development by creating a highly visible bridge to community.

The John Jay Fine Arts Facility is the high school’s new academic hub for performing and visual arts. Contemporary architecture programmed to support arts activity sets the stage for a vibrant, culturally rich curriculum. The well-resourced facility is already home to cherished, award-winning programs: marching band, jazz band, classical orchestra, and mariachi orchestra. The Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) 2025 Exhibit of School Architecture awarded the John Jay HS Fine Arts Facility three Stars of Distinction: Design, Community, and Wellness.

The Holmes Fine Arts Center campus improvement project, supported by City bond funds, proposed a fine arts facility competitive with the best in the city. Our state-of-the-art facility expands possibilities and builds on tradition.
