For Educational Clients
Greer Stafford has over a quarter-century’s experience in turning concepts for classrooms, schools and campuses into real physical learning spaces. We not only have first-hand knowledge of the specific needs of the educational community, but we have expertise in how to fulfill these needs with both exceptional functional design and realistic budgets.
Educational Experience
Our professional staff is dedicated to creating the best specialized facilities unique to schools. Many of us are active members in the Council of Educational Facility Planners International (CEFPI), and our firm has been awarded their highest tribute in the international James D. MacConnell Award.
Greer Stafford has been actively involved with the Public School Facilities Authority (PSFA) since its inception and has completed over 60 projects for the PSFA (and its predecessor, the Deficiencies Correction Unit). We’ve established a strong working relationship with their personnel and a thorough understanding of their goals, processes and procedures.
Recently our firm was awarded a contract with Cooperative Educational Services (CES) to provide architecture and planning services to its members, which include two-year colleges, universities, charter schools, state schools, BIA institutions, and all of New Mexico's public school districts.
Specialized Educational Facilities
We recognize that today’s educational facilities have evolved far beyond “the little red schoolhouse” of the past. Today’s students require a blend of specialized spaces that frequently must serve “double duty” as multi-functional spaces for the community at large. The range of facilities is broad and Greer Stafford stands out among architectural firms with a long history of designing each type, including:
- technology enhanced “smart” classrooms
- science labs
- allied health instructional facilities
- computer labs
- cafeterias & food service areas
- gymnasiums
- recreational centers
- library/media centers
- auditoriums/ performing arts centers
- outdoor tracks and athletic fields
- assembly areas
- office spaces
Whatever the scope of the project, from a brand new school complex to remodels and additions to existing structures, we know that our state-of-the-art design today must continue to serve tomorrow’s students and communities. For examples of our school projects, please visit our Projects Gallery.
Educational Services
In addition to providing total architectural/engineering services, Greer Stafford’s design team can assist school district representatives with:
- district facility master planning
- facility needs assessments
- feasibility studies
- site selection analysis
- space planning
- facility programming
- bond issue assistance
- assistance with Public Schools Capital Outlay Council (PSCOC) applications & presentations
We recognize that every educational project poses unique challenges. We welcome the opportunity to explore solutions with both existing and future educational community clients.
