  • History of Plano East

    Plano East is named after its location on the east side of the city of Plano. 

    Phase I of the building's construction was completed in 1981 at a cost of $14.2 million. The building, situated on 123 acres, was created to resemble a college campus. An additional 82,200 square feet of land was added to the school in 1983. The building was renovated in 1997.
