2024-25 Projects

Aledo ISD—Aledo Middle School The project represents the first time the district has split middle school—or any secondary school—into two campuses. Maintaining all students within a grade level in one middle and one high school has long been the desire of the community. However, growth precipitated the need to develop a new plan. The district engaged the community in a combined visioning effort for both a new middle school and the transformation of the existing one.

Arlington ISD—Myrtle Thornton Elementary School Gaining input to replace an aging facility with a ground-up elementary school, the design team engaged students, parents, and teachers to embrace the local culture and revitalize the community. Designed entirely during the pandemic, the design team gathered data virtually to inform the design approach and presented ideas to the largely Hispanic population to preserve existing oak trees, connect indoor and outdoor spaces, and create a cultural experience in a unified spirit to celebrate their heritage and culture.

Barbers Hill ISD—Barbers Hill Intermediate School North In 2020, Barbers Hill ISD hired us to design two new intermediate schools, including Barbers Hill Intermediate School North, a two-story facility that accommodates 1,500 students in grades 4–6. One of the bigger challenges set by the district was for both schools to be laid out the same but also to appear different from each other. The solution to the “same but different” design challenge was to develop a theme for each school based on the district’s mascot—the Eagle.

The solution to the “same but different” design challenge was to develop a theme for each school based on the district’s mascot, the eagle.
Borger ISD—Borger High School The project intent was to create a separate area for 9th graders at the High school to ease social and academic transitions. The District’s goal was to move their educational delivery at the secondary level to be more student-centered and collaborative, to leverage peer-to-peer and project-based learning modalities. This goal was realized in the central core of the existing high school in the renovation of the traditional library to differentiated areas for research, small group and large group instruction.
