Dr. Joseph Torres Elementary School

The new construction portion of the project was designed to safely separate the areas of student drop-off, bus drop-off, and the service yard. There is a new administrative suite with a well-defined school entrance that is compliant with City of El Paso design requirements. The suite also includes a new library, teacher workroom, and an early childhood center for grades pre-K to first grade with a secured playground. The new school portion features a 21st Century design which encourages exploration and experimentation. The existing portion of the campus was renovated to integrate new classrooms to augment existing space required for second-through-fifth grades. There are learning centers for art, science, computers, and music, with a multi-purpose cafetorium that includes a movable stage. New restroom facilities were built for students and staff along with a new teacher workroom and ancillary administrative offices.
