Throw-back Thursday: Perez Elementary Library

While in Brownsville the other day, I drove past two projects that we designed for the Brownsville Independent School District four years ago. It was good to see that the school maintenance staff has done an excellent job of maintaining the facility as well as the grounds.

General Contractor Selected!

The parish of San Cristobal Magallanes y companeros Catholic Church has selected the general contracting firm of Highmark Construction Co. to build their new parish hall (phase one of the master plan). The facility will be built at the corner of Military Highway and Santa Ingracia Street in the Sharyland Plantation development. We at Mata Garcia Architects look forward to working with the parish building committee and Highmark to make this long awaited dream a reality. Congratulations to everyone!

Truan Gym Renovation Update

View of the gym interior - May 2012. The ceiling wrap for the insulation was torn, metal wall panels were missing and daylight visible, windows leaked and the floor was warped.

The renovation work is nearing completion - March 2013. The gym interior includes new wall surfaces, graphics, lighting, a/c system, flooring and bleachers. The general contractor, Foremost Construction, is scheduled to turn the facility over to the Edcouch-Elsa ISD at their April 2013 Board of Trustees meeting.
