| A
128,000 SF school on 100 acres. The project represents successful
cooperation between the Pueblo of Laguna, which contributed land
and utilities, and Grants Cibola County Schools, which contributed
construction dollars from bonds and State capital outlay awards.
The project was coordinated with State of NM Deficiencies Correction
Unit for design and construction document compliance. The Laguna Acoma Task Force represents two pueblos, three Hispanic Land Grant communities and school administration and staff. The school is organized around a central courtyard with a “village” concept. The Media Center, Computer Commons and Administration frame the west side of the courtyard. A central Lobby welcomes visitors and is a tall and visible form facing the approaching highway, bus drop-off and visitor parking lot. The Performance area is a large four-tiered multi-purpose room with the “stage” doubling as a chorus room. The Band/Orchestra room is adjacent to the “stage” and separated by shared music offices and music library. The Cafeteria/Kitchen is a large area at the northeast side of the courtyard. The courtyard has ample landscaping, shade trees and trellis structure and is designed to accommodate students sitting, eating and socializing during lunch and between classes. The courtyard concept has also reduced the amount of built square footage dedicated to circulation. Phase III provides a 1200 seat gymnasium, locker rooms, ROTC program space, vocational education, Computer graphics/drafting and home economics programs. |
LOCATION: Casa Blanca, New Mexico “…I have had the privilege
of working with this firm for the design and construction of the
new Laguna/Acoma Junior/SeniorHigh School. Studio SW has demonstrated
their willingness to “listen” and incorporate the needs
of the owner into the design of the facility. Studio SW has also verified
through the project cycle their strong commitment to accountability
from the owner’s perspective. The result is a facility that
meets the needs of the owner and reflects the community culture and
values.” |
