Farnsworth Group designed a new two-story El Paso Gridley Middle School building to replace the district’s junior high campus. Our work with the district started with an assessment of the existing facilities and assisting the district with community engagement efforts during the pre-referendum phase.

The new building includes 17 classrooms, two science labs, two gymnasiums, music rooms, a media center with book depository, and a storm shelter.
The project was designed to allow the District’s existing facilities to remain functional during construction. After the new building opened for the 2022 fall semester, the existing buildings were demolished and the site was renovated into a new parking lot and bus/parent drop-off lanes.
