building & property progress
The restoration of the historic Old Peñasco High School is progressing steadily. We are currently in the Planning Stage, the first of two major stages in our effort to rehabilitate this iconic adobe building into a thriving community hub.
Two-Stage Process
Our restoration follows a federally recognized model for historic preservation, which includes:
-
Stage 1: Planning — Developing all required construction documents, architectural designs, permits, and cost estimates.
-
Stage 2: Construction Work — Executing the physical restoration based on approved plans.
Next Steps
We're actively seeking funding for the final planning phases and the next major milestone: full rehabilitation of the structure. This includes restoring adobe walls, removing the non-original pitched roof, rebuilding original buttresses, updating utilities, and ensuring ADA accessibility.
Learn how this space will serve our community through Cultural Preservation, Economic Development, and Community Service.
