The approximately 4,400-square-foot Zuni Teen Health and Family Wellness Center provides a new safe place for youth to gather, interact with each other, and form a sense of community with the Tribe. The building has two distinct areas, an activities space and a health clinic.

The 9,600 square foot Zuni Senior Center provides the Elders a safe, comfortable, and culturally responsive place to gather, socialize, and conduct programs. The building’s main space, a large activities room, allows for group activities such as exercise, dining, and social events. The breathtaking view of the sacred mesa, Dowa Yalanne or “Corn Mountain,” fills this room with its majestic presence and reinforces the Elders’ tie to their sacred land.

Huitt-Zollars is currently working on the first phase of the VLL Data Center in Los Lunas. The project consists of overall master planning for the entire 300-acre campus. The first phase includes the construction of the internal road system and the first two buildings within the campus— totaling over 1,000,000 square feet.

Huitt-Zollars was Prime Design on this project aimed to remove a 40-year old 2,800-GPM lift station from service and replace it with a new 2,800-GPM lift station at a new location. The new design allows flow to be directed to two separate wastewater treatment plant locations through the use of two pairs of submersible pumps.  

Huitt-Zollars provided the design and construction phase services for the new RRPS District’s new Training Center and Board Room Complex. The 17,300 SF additions will house three state of the art training rooms and support space for teacher and staff training in mock classroom settings. The complex also includes office suites for the Directors of Curriculum for Elementary and Secondary Education. A new 150 seat Board Room is included in the design.

Huitt-Zollars provided the design and is currently in the final stages of the construction administration services for the new fire station facility in High Desert’s exclusive Mariposa subdivision. The site is a rural location in the northwestern high desert of Rio Rancho in close proximity to Bernalillo at Highway 550 and Unser Blvd. Because of the rural nature of the site all utilities, infrastructure, roadways, curbs, gutters, etc., had to be extended.

The new station is located on Pyrite Road in an existing residential area in northeast Rio Rancho. The design for this 5,400 square foot station is based on the prototype design Huitt-Zollars developed for all new fire stations within the RRFD district. The proposed site for this station has a steep slope running east to west that will require numerous retaining walls and extensive grading. The station design includes a 4 vehicle apparatus bay, living quarters for a five person staff, kitchen area and training / exercise space.

Huitt-Zollars was retained by Albuquerque Public Schools to provide design services for the renovation/addition to the existing gymnasium building to meet Title IX requirements at Valley High School. The design includes a new weight room, dance room, locker rooms for both women’s and men’s sports and new PE locker rooms. A new training room, wrestling room, and coaches offices will also be provided under this project. The exterior of the building will also be upgraded with new windows, stucco, and a new roof. The project is designed to be LEED Certified Silver.

The 48,000 square-foot Parkview Early Literacy Center will provide developmentally disabled students an environment where learning and teaching will be fun, productive and fundamental for their growth. The design provides 20 classrooms which are organized in groups of four, forming a Learning Pod. Each Learning Pod’s design will have two shared Sensory Rooms, a Commons area (or break out space), a kitchenette, a Speech, Language and Pathology office, student and staff restrooms, sterilization area, and storage space.
