The 80,000-square-foot complex — the largest EVO to date — will be built at the intersection of Highway 151 and Military Drive in the Escala development.
The complex will have 10 dine-in auditoriums, a 7,000-square-foot game room with an overhead rope course and a 12-lane bowling alley, according to EVO. Another two auditoriums will have the “EVX” experience with 80-foot curved screens.

Construction will begin in March and it is scheduled for completion by January 2021.
The first EVO complex in this area is located in Schertz, at 18658 Interstate 35.
