Farmington, NM

This new 11,000 square foot multi-use facility was designed to economically meet the diverse needs of the San Juan Center for Independence — a non-profit organization that provides life-skills training, socialization opportunities, and a variety of other services to adults with physical disabilities. The new building includes 11 staff offices with support spaces like a reception area, adjacent board room, file room, copy room and server room. A 3,000 square foot multi-purpose event room opens onto a large covered patio. Also included were a commercial kitchen and a recreational room for the Center’s clients that includes vending machines, couches, a TV, pool table and computers. Care was taken to ensure that the entire facility and site are wheel-chair accessible.

Farmington Municipal Schools

Farmington, NM

This multi-phased project replaced the majority of facilities on an aging elementary school campus. Careful phasing allowed classes to continue uninterrupted on campus during construction.

Phase 1 constructed a new two-story classroom building in the middle of the old playground. Once students had moved into the new facility, Phase 2 construction was able to proceed on the existing building. This phase included demolition of the existing classroom building and remodeling the newer portions of the existing building into a new administrative suite, special education, and student health facility. Phase 3 included a new Kindergarten wing addition and parking lots for parents and staff.

New construction encompasses approximately 51,000 square feet; the remodel area is approximately 9,000 square feet.

Portales Municipal Schools

Portales, NM

This new 59,000 square foot elementary school in Portales, NM was designed for 500 students in grades 5 and 6. Classrooms are configured into “learning pods”, which provide students with smaller learning environments within the larger school.

Energy-efficient features include a ground source heat pump HVAC system, natural daylighting, a 50 KW solar array, and a small 1.8 KW wind turbine. The project is LEED Gold certified.

Santa Fe Public Schools

Santa Fe, NM

Santa Fe’s new 62,000 square foot elementary school opened in August 2010. The design promotes a sustainable science-based learning environment for 467 students in grades K-6. Each classroom enjoys direct access to its own enclosed “outdoor classroom.”

Energy-efficient features include natural daylighting, a rainwater harvesting system, and a ground source heat pump HVAC system. The project has applied for LEED certification.

Bloomfield School District

Bloomfield, NM

The existing Bloomfield High School was a maze of disconnected buildings that made supervision of students difficult. In addition to being in poor condition, facilities were cramped, poorly laid-out, and had very little natural lighting.

This multi-year, multi-phased project incrementally replaced the majority of existing facilities on the campus, while taking care to minimize disruption to learning activities. Careful schedule control kept the sequence of work on track over the course of five years, ten sub-phases, and three bonding cycles. Ultimately 157,600 square feet of new facilities replaced 122,000 square feet of outdated buildings that were demolished.

The bulk of the new high school is now housed in single two-story building with interior circulation, which minimizes the need for students to move between buildings. The new front entry is obvious and welcoming; while administrative areas have been configured to provide excellent visual control of the entry, student commons, and outdoor student courtyard. Classrooms and support spaces are well proportioned and infused with ample daylighting.

Clovis Community College

Clovis, NM

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.

Alamogordo Public Schools

Alamogordo, NM

This is one of many renovation projects Greer Stafford has completed for Alamogordo Public Schools. Renovation to the high school’s science labs and classrooms was completed on a fast-track schedule over a summer break in order to minimize disruption to students and school activities.

Work included new flooring, emergency showers, fume hoods, demonstration tables, refurbished student work stations with new sinks and countertops, new ceilings and updated lighting fixtures, new floors, new doors and closers, demolition of old power boxes and installation of new ones, new lighting, installation of emergency showers and other minor repairs and renovations, and electrical updates to meet current code requirements. Include also ADA updates such as lowering light switches to accessible heights.

San Juan County

Aztec, NM

After conducting a feasibility study to assist the County in evaluating its options for expanding & improving or replacing its Eleventh Judicial District Courthouse, Greer Stafford was selected to design multiple phases of additions and renovations.

Phase I consisted of adding a new chiller plant.

Phase II consisted of a 25,000 square foot addition that provides three new courtrooms and associated chambers areas as well as a prisoner holding area.

Phase III consisted of renovations to a portion of the existing building in order to accommodate additional court clerks and administration.

The result is an expanded and improved facility that provides much-needed additional space while also presenting a public image befitting of a distinguished institution like the District Court.

for 25+ New Mexico Public School Districts

Greer Stafford’s planning department has developed Five-Year Facilities Master Plans for more than 25 public school districts throughout New Mexico. Each Facilities Master Plan was prepared in compliance with the requirements of the Public School Facilities Authority (PSFA) and the Public School Capital Outlay Council (PSCOC) and complies with the most current School District Facilities Master Plan Components and Guidelines.

Plans are developed through a series of assessments, analyses, reports, discussions, utilization studies, enrollment projections, maintenance reviews and reviews of educational program requirements. The resulting Master Plans provide districts with a strategy for bringing all facilities up to an equitable level of health and safety, renewal or replacement, in a manner that allows each district to meet its own defined educational goals.

Clovis Community College

Clovis, NM

In 2001, Greer Stafford developed an initial long-range master plan for Clovis Community College which called for a new educational & administrative center to be constructed over multiple years, as funding became available. Our team has since completed two updates to the Master Plan — one in 2007 and one in 2010. The latest plan, which emphasizes sustainable design and state-of-the-art technology, identifies and prioritizes eleven phases of future construction.

Albuquerque Public Schools

Albuquerque, NM

The new 71,800 square foot Painted Sky Elementary School was designed to serve 800-plus students on the expanding west side of Albuquerque.

Phase I consisted of a 25,000 square foot “core” building with administrative offices, a kitchen with adjacent dining/multi-purpose room, a library/media center, computer lab and three Kindergarten classrooms with separate “tot lot”.

Phase IIconstruction provided 30 permanent classrooms in two wings, flanking the core facilities in a horseshoe shape that creates a protected exterior playground. The 4,000 square foot gymnasium is designed to be used after-hours by the surrounding community, while the classroom wings and core facilities are locked and secured.

Bloomfield School District

Bloomfield, NM

This new 58,000 square foot early education center was designed to be a source of education, services, and referral for families of young children. In addition to housing the Early Head Start through First Grade programs, the Center doubles as a community center after hours.

Facilities include classrooms, spacious hallways with reading nooks, a parent room/library, a conference/training room, a multi-purpose room that can be divided into two spaces, a kitchen, and administrative offices. Each classroom is infused with natural daylighting and provides direct access to the enclosed playground, which was specially designed for young children. To meet the Building Committee’s vision for the facility as place that evokes “home” and “family”, the Center was designed to resemble a small village.

In recognition of its unique, whimsical design, the project was awarded both the “Best Interior” and “Best Exterior” awards for 2003 by the New Mexico Association of General Contractors.

San Juan College

Farmington, NM

The new Health Sciences Center provides a hands-on training environment for students in the College’s health sciences programs.

Phase I encompassed 13,500 square feet and featured a surgical suite with sterilization, scrub and operating rooms, as well as a state-of-the-art medical lab. Interactive mannequins provide computer simulations of medical cases, allowing students to gain experience in life-like settings.

Phase II added 15,000 square feet, which includes two labs, a classroom and administrative area for the Physical Therapist Assistant program, a classroom and lab for Respiratory Therapy, as well as an office suite for the Emergency Medical Services program.

Phase III added another 2,700 square feet, which includes a microbiology lab and preparation area, biohazards storage, three faculty offices and paving for part of the adjacent parking lot.

Estancia Valley Catholic Parish

Estancia, NM

This feasibility study was commissioned to conduct a study to help Estancia Valley Catholic Parish plan for its future facility needs. The first part of the study analyzed all existing facilities (four active churches in four different communities: Estancia, Moriarty, Tajique, and Edgewood) and provided proposed cost estimates to bring each facility up to an acceptable standard. It also examined current attendance and use as well as demographic trends in the region in order to project future attendance. Interviews and questionnaires gathered input from the membership of the four churches regarding their current facility use and future facility needs.
Once data collection was complete, our planning team defined, explored and reviewed several options for future development with the EVCP’s Task Force. A final option was then selected and defined in more detail — including phasing, projected cost and proposed schedule.

Hobbs Municipal Schools

Hobbs, NM

Extensive renovations transformed this 1957 auditorium into a state-of-the-art Performing Arts Theater. With seating for over 2,000, it is one of the largest theaters in the region. In order for the facility to remain open as much as possible during the renovation process, construction was completed in four phases.

Improvements include new finishes throughout, asbestos removal, repairs to the steps and windows, replastering and repainting. ADA access improvements include a new elevator and a ramp to give handicapped individuals access to the lobby. Inside the auditorium, seats were refurbished and new computerized lighting, sound, and projection systems were installed. A new sound and lighting control room was created out of the existing coat room.

Farmington Municipal Schools

Farmington, NM

Greer Stafford designed this new high school to be compatible with the natural landscape and take advantage of the site’s commanding views. The campus is organized around an interior courtyard that includes student locker bays and an amphitheater — a configuration that allows faculty and staff to monitor activities in the courtyard and also infuses most learning spaces with natural light.

Phase I constructed approximately 250,000 square feet of core facilities for 1,600 students, including over 50 classrooms, each with access to the campus’ multi-media/technology backbone. Core facilities included a library/media center with a 30-student computer lab, a 9,000 square foot student commons, and a separate gymnasium with two full-size courts and seating for 2,500.

Phase II added a fine arts wing, an auxiliary gymnasium, and an 800-seat Performing Arts Center.

San Juan College

Farmington, NM

This 140,000 square foot multi-purpose complex serves as both the campus’s recreational facility and as an instructional center. The two-story building centers on an open lobby with abundant daylighting and a 30-foot rock climbing wall. The recreational wing includes a control desk and sports shops, a three-court gymnasium with an elevated running track, aerobics and dance studios, a weight room, a training room, locker rooms, storage, laundry room, and student gathering areas. Also included are classrooms, administrative offices, a large meeting room and a 48-station computer lab.

Alamogordo, NM

This private dental office was designed for expansion and to be infused with natural daylighting. Plans for the new 4,200 square foot facility include three exam rooms, three operatories, a darkroom, laboratory, sterilization center, x-ray room, on-deck room and consultation room. Staff needs are addressed by the inclusion of a private lounge/dining area with individual lockers and food preparation facilities.

Farmington Municipal Schools

Farmington, NM

Extensive renovations and additions transformed an old elementary school building into a new technical/vocational learning center.

Phase I work included a new welding shop, conversion of the old gymnasium into an automotive shop, and the renovation of a classroom wing into a new culinary arts center complete with dining room and commercial kitchen/food lab.

Phase II work renovated the existing library into IT offices and converted existing classrooms into computer labs and computer repair labs. Work also included restroom renovations, HVAC system replacement, new energy-efficient lighting, new ceilings, new doors and windows, and new finishes.

Bethel Baptist Church

Alamogordo, NM

Greer Stafford completed a Long Range Master Plan in order to identify the physical needs of the church community and examine options for a phased building plan. Working closely with the church’s Planning Committee, we completed a thorough assessment of the existing site and facilities, conducted interviews with staff and representatives from the various ministries, and gathered information on the congregation’s most pressing future needs. From the information collected, we proposed several options for future construction, complete with projected costs and conceptual drawings.

After presentation to the full congregation and further discussions, our final recommendation was for a three-phased project that would include a new education/administration building, expansion to the Worship Center, and a new Youth Center/multi-purpose building.

City of Albuquerque

Albuquerque, NM

Originally constructed in 1925, this fire station in Downtown Albuquerque’s Huning Highland Historic District had received few renovations since the 1950s and suffered from a number of limitations that impacted the day-to-day functioning of its firefighters.

Working with the City, Fire Department staff, and residents of the surrounding neighborhood, Greer Stafford completed programming, master planning, cost estimates and schematic design for a major expansion/renovation project – to be completed at a future time, when the City has obtained the necessary funding.

The resulting two-phased plan calls for expanding the existing 2,700 SF station by an additional 4,262 SF, while bringing the station up to current building codes and modern fire station standards. Plans called for: addition of a new double bay apparatus room; expansion of sleeping and living quarters; upgrades/expansions to the kitchen, restrooms and offices; creation of new storage areas and a front greeting room; HVAC upgrades; window replacements; and new parking and landscaping.

In addition to planning and schematic design, our design team successfully obtained design approval by the Landmarks & Urban Conservation Commission (LUCC) and the Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) for the project.

Farmington, NM

This medical clinic provides office, exam and treatment facilities for five family practice physicians and one chiropractor. The 8,500 square foot facility includes 15 exam rooms, offices for 5 medical providers, a reception area and waiting room, radiography facilities and a separate chiropractor’s office.

A major design goal for this family practice facility was to create an inviting and warm environment rather than a static, institutional setting. The building was organized in “pods”, each including a physician’s office and five exam rooms, opening into a central nurse’s station. Colors, furnishings and finishes also added to the informal and comfortable environment.

As a Design/Build project the owner, architect and contractor all worked closely together from the original design through the construction phases to provide a cost efficient and highly functional project. As a result, the entire project, including design phase, was completed in ten months, a full two months ahead of schedule.

Farmington Municipal Schools

Farmington, NM

Farmington’s Central Kitchen prepares 8,000 meals each day, which are then distributed to schools throughout the district. The new building replaces the existing central kitchen, which was cramped and dated. The 8,813 square foot facility includes a kitchen with dedicated areas for prep work, cooking, and dish washing, as well as walk-in freezers and coolers, storage areas, laundry, a break room for 14 staff members, staff offices, and support spaces.

Aztec Municipal Schools

Aztec, NM

Phase I consisted of demolition and reconstruction of the existing track, track and field events, and football field. The new football field is an artificial turf field complete with sewn-in field markings and logos, and a subsurface drainage system. The track and football field were designed and constructed to meet the National Federation of State High School Associations standards. Field design included below ground connections for a public address system and an electronic timing system for track events.

Phase II constructed a new concession stand, storage building, and rooftop plaza. The new concession stand was designed to sit on the upper level of the existing athletic facility, where the top bleachers and parking lot are located. The new lower-level athletic/maintenance storage building will have a rooftop plaza that is accessible from the upper-level.

Rio Rancho Public Schools

Rio Rancho, NM

Greer Stafford served as the “Design Architect” for this new school, which provided much needed space for the 8th and 9th grade students in the fast-growing community of Rio Rancho.

In order to expedite construction, the District elected to use a Design-Build delivery method. Our Design-Build Team included Bradbury-Stamm Construction and John Friedman as the “Architect of Record”.

Four buildings provide 226,000 square feet of space. Each grade has its own dedicated building containing classrooms, labs, and faculty offices. Centered between the two classroom buildings, the commons building houses the library/media center, administrative offices, student commons, and cafeteria. A fourth building houses the gymnasium, locker rooms, and music classrooms.

The combination one and two-story structures were terraced into the existing hillside, reducing the need for extensive and expensive re-grading of the site, while taking advantage of the magnificent views.

Cloudcroft Municipal Schools

Cloudcroft, NM

As a hodgepodge of structures consisting mostly of 35-60 year old buildings and portables, Cloudcroft High School desperately needed an upgrade to bring it into the twenty-first century. The “new” high school needed to be constructed within the limited confines of the existing site, while the school remained fully operational.

Greer Stafford worked with the school district to devise an intricate, multi-phased plan that resulted in the demolition of approximately 20,000 square feet of outdated facilities, the construction of 48,000 square feet of new facilities, and the renovation of 31,000 square feet of existing facilities over the course of a five year period. Students were moved into new facilities as they were completed; then vacated buildings were demolished and replaced with new construction. The most disruptive work was scheduled to coincide with summer vacations. Meticulous planning and schedule control facilitated uninterrupted instruction on campus. The final design incorporates the materials, form and character of the local mountain community.

Kuwait Ministry of Education

Kuwait City, Kuwait

Working directly with the Kuwaiti Ministry of Public Works and Ministry of Education, Greer Stafford designed two new prototype schools to be constructed in and around Kuwait City. Design standards were developed for new state-of-the-art facilities, with the aim of upgrading the quality of education in Kuwait. The two designs were intended to be reused on a variety of sites with minimal modifications.

Prototype Kindergarten School – Designed for 300 students, the 62,000 square foot prototype Kindergarten includes 12 classrooms, 6 activity rooms, an auditorium, a guard house and an interior playground. Each classroom includes multiple activity areas, multi-media center and private exterior courtyard.

The lower level contains a 96 person open computer lab, 2 computer labs, 2 technology-enhanced classrooms, a faculty technology training center and a glass walled computer hub room.

University of New Mexico

Albuquerque, NM

The Technology & Education Center was envisioned as a state-of-the-art teacher training facility, where educators could learn how to use the latest instructional technologies. This remodel project completely gutted the interior of an existing building in the College of Education complex. The resulting two-story space encompasses 14,800 square feet and includes flexible multi-purpose seminar/classrooms, computer labs, a resource library and a video production lab.

Eastern New Mexico University

Portales, NM

Interior renovations to the campus dining hall included a new food serving line that offers a variety of food and beverage options. The area directly behind the serving line was reconfigured to allow for additional food preparation areas and the installation of new cooking equipment. A totally redesigned entry with new storefront aluminum double doors, a new cashier counter and a new faux-painted soffit above the food serving line with new floor tile and paint, create a cohesive and readily understood visual clue as to the functional “identity” of the project area.

City of Albuquerque

Albuquerque, NM

Design and construction of a new outdoor shooting range on Albuquerque’s West Side encompassed two phases. With 102 turning targets, the pistol range can accommodate 100 shooters at a time. Two ancillary buildings provide space for trade shows, concessions, and rest rooms. The Shooting Range Park, which is operated by the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division, provides a safe environment for the public to learn and practice firearm skills. It has also hosted the National Police Shooting Championship.

Santa Fe Community College

Santa Fe, NM

This recreational complex was designed to provide a flexible, multi-use fitness facility for the College’s 6,000 students, faculty and staff.

A sky-lighted, two-story entry atrium with a check-in desk and sports shop greets visitors as they enter. First floor facilities include an indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, locker rooms, a weight training room, aerobics studios, a clinic, and offices.

The gymnasium can accommodate 3 full-court basketball games simultaneously. Curtain “walls” allow for flexible partitioning of the space. Bleachers with built-in chair backs seat approximately 1,000 spectators.

Santa Fe Community College

Santa Fe, NM

Albuquerque Public Schools

Albuquerque, NM

Work at this 40-year-old campus focused on the addition of a new 5,200 square foot multi-purpose building, which is accessible for both school and community use. The building contains a 2,880 square foot (court size) mini-gym with a moveable partition that can divide the ball court into two equal instructional spaces.

Elsewhere on campus, an existing 3,840 square foot romper room was converted into a new centralized media center/library. The new library features stack areas, two computer pods, a terraced story-telling area with multi-media capabilities, a centralized control office and workroom for staff, and a multi-purpose conference room that can be used by the community after hours.

City of Albuquerque

Albuquerque, NM

Extensive renovations transformed this former Downtown Albuquerque adult club into a multi-use teen center. Greer Stafford’s project team conducted a series of three design charrettes to gather input from the teenagers who would potentially be using the Center. The resulting program & design included spaces for a wide variety of activities: concerts; dance & drama rehearsals and performances; movies; art & computer classes; small workshops & meetings; an art gallery; a game room; computer lab; snack bar; retail store; and informal socializing.

In addition to providing services for Phase I construction (approximately 4,600 square feet), our firm developed a Master Plan for all 26,000 square feet of the facility and provided a preliminary budget for future Phase 2 & 3 construction.

Santa Fe Community College

Santa Fe, NM

This new 28,000 square foot instructional pre-school and child care center was designed for 120 children, ranging in ages from new-born to 4 years old. The facility is equipped with instructional labs and various observation areas for community college students studying childhood development.

The Center was designed with security in mind. Each of the three outdoor play areas was designed for a specific age group. All three areas are enclosed by the center itself. These areas contain sand and grass areas, play equipment with soft landing material, and several water features, including a running stream.

Clovis Community College

Clovis, NM

Phase I of the new Allied Health Center was completed in 2009. It encompasses 14,913 square feet and includes teaching labs for nursing and emergency medical services programs, a lecture hall with tiered seating for 100 students, and a 1,200 square foot multi-media lab with 15 workstations and distance learning capabilities. Ample storage space for lab equipment and other support spaces were also included. A 1,300 square foot multi-functional computer/testing lab provides for the testing and evaluation of up to 40 students.

A number of energy-efficient features have been integrated into the building’s design in order to reduce environmental impact and lower operational costs. Daylighting of the classrooms and labs help to reduce cooling loads. Rainwater harvesting and low water-use landscaping conserve water. Computer energy modeling resulted in optimized energy performance of the building’s mechanical system.

Greer Stafford has since completed Phase II of the project.

Bloomfield Schools

Bloomfield, NM

A new 10,185 square foot office building was designed to provide expanded space for Bloomfield School District’s administrative staff. The new facility includes a variety of offices and work spaces, a lobby and reception area, multiple file and storage rooms, a conference room, a staff lounge, and support spaces.

The project also included demolishing and remodeling portions of the existing Administration Building, located immediately adjacent to the new building. A connecting corridor allows interior circulation between the old and new buildings. Materials from the existing building were matched to create a uniform appearance to the entire facility.

Eastern New Mexico University

Roswell, NM

Santa Fe Public Schools

Santa Fe, NM

This new 63,500 square foot elementary school for 415 students in grades K-5 replaced an aging 40-year-old school in an established Santa Fe neighborhood. The design is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Santa Fe style of architecture, blending and harmonizing with the surrounding community. Thirty-six classrooms are arranged in two wings, a configuration which provides an enclosed, centralized playground (and kindergarten “tot-lot”) within, protected from busy perimeter traffic and inclement weather.

Bloomfield Schools and City of Bloomfield

Bloomfield, NM

Additions and renovations transformed the local high school’s abandoned natatorium building into a new community aquatic center. Phase I added an outdoor pool complex, which offers fun aquatic activities for all ages. It includes a six lane lap pool, a splash pool for toddlers, and a “play-and-plunge pool” that offers a pair of two-story water slides and room for floating rafts. A new outdoor locker room/concessions stand building completes the water park and makes it a destination where families can spend an entire day.

Phase II renovated the existing natatorium building. The old indoor pool and surrounding decks were refinished, new daylight openings were added for increased natural light and improved thermal efficiency, and existing locker rooms were gutted and expanded. The building’s exterior received a face-lift in the form of new stucco and metal wall panel finishes and the addition of a more welcoming front entry.

Clovis Community College

Clovis, NM

This new 29,000 square foot Library/Technology Center was designed to house 60,000 volumes, with the structural capability to expand holdings in the future. Workstations and seating are provided for approximately 250 students, along with reference & check-out desks, staff office & storage space, computer kiosks, computer classrooms and an internet cafe. The integration of advanced technology into all functions and services was a high priority. Multi-media capabilities and network connections for personal laptop computers were installed throughout, including commons and seating areas.
