FEATURED PROJECTS

ROMA recently presented our design for the new K-8 expansion of Corrales Elementary School to the Corrales Village Council. The Corrales Comment has written an excellent article about the presentation, which you can read here.

The design for the expansion was inspired by the natural beauty and rich history of the Corrales riparian landscape. The character of Corrales reflects an enduring relationship between community, land, water, and nature, shaped by agrarian traditions that can be traced back to the Indigenous peoples who first irrigated its soils over 1,500 years ago. This history remains evident today in the village’s long, narrow plots, organized around centuries-old acequia systems, its historical adobe architecture, and in vibrant local traditions that honor farming and craftsmanship. The new school draws on this heritage as a metaphor for growth, learning, and connection to the natural environment.

The project is set to break ground in March, and is expected to open its doors in 2027.
