In Progress

City of Albuquerque

Albuquerque, NM

Upon completion in Summer 2013, this project will replace the existing Los Duranes Community Center with a new 18,830 square foot facility. Our design team has worked closely with stakeholders from the various City departments as well as members of the Los Duranes community to design a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient facility that will efficiently house a variety of programs and activities.

Programmed spaces include: game room, arts & crafts room, gymnasium, fitness room, computer room, activity room, two meeting rooms with adjacent warming kitchen, ample storage, and an office/reception desk. We have worked closely with our landscape design consultants to design community gardens & courtyards that celebrate the Los Duranes area’s agricultural heritage.

Los Lunas Public Schools

Los Lunas, NM

When Greer Stafford was awarded this project in 2010, the Los Lunas High School campus suffered from multiple issues: building systems that were past their useful life, significant drainage problems, and decades of haphazard development that had left the sprawling campus with multiple buildings and a rambling layout that made student supervision very difficult.

Our team has worked closely with the District to assess existing facilities and develop a plan for facility replacement. The resulting design calls for partial demolition of the existing classroom wings and construction of a new single two-story building that will house four different learning communities, each focused on a particular career/educational theme. A center courtyard will allow students to congregate outside while still maintaining a secure, well-supervised campus.

Phase I construction will begin in Summer 2012. Phase II construction is scheduled to begin in May 2013. When completed, approximately 160,000 square feet will have been demolished, 27,000 square feet of portables will be removed, and approximately 195,000 square feet of new construction will be completed.
