- Erin's Place
Previous Next Children’s Cancer Fund Erin's Place Albuquerque, NM 2017 As one of the only locations where pediatric oncology care is available in New Mexico, Albuquerque can seem distant and expensive for many families seeking treatment for their children. Erin’s Place, designed for the Children’s Cancer Fund, is an award winning design that provides a home-like setting for families whose children are receiving hospice care or treatment in Albuquerque. Peaceful and comfortable, Erin’s Place is made up of three single family townhouses (approximately 1,600 square feet with a master bedroom, second bedroom, two bathrooms, a kitchen, study, laundry, and attached garage) plus a detached Multipurpose communal use building of 784 square feet. An interior courtyard offers a quiet outdoor area to play and enjoy the sunshine. The space combines functional features of a hospital, such as reclining beds, but with a softer feel. Colorful decor and bedding, for instance, create a comfortable atmosphere for residents. A water feature outside was designed with the help of a local artist and child cancer patients, who painted clay tiles that adorn the fountain. Previous Next
- Lybrook Elementary School | Vigil & Associates
Previous Next Jemez Mountain Public Schools Lybrook Elementary School Lybrook, NM 2005 Under the previous firm of ASA Architects, Vigil & Associates’ president/principal Ray Vigil worked with Jemez Mountain Public Schools on this project. The design of Lybrook Elementary School is inspired by the culture of its Dinè student population. The commons area references traditional Dinè hogans with its octagonal shape, domed roof and east-facing entrance. Colors in the floor and walls follow the Dinè colors for north, south, east and west, and the classroom and multipurpose wings extends outward in cardinal directions. A central octagonal courtyard and a colored concrete “reading plaza” continue the cultural references through the outdoor spaces as well. The school building and grounds were carefully sited to avoid disturbing nearby archaeological sites. During the bidding phase of this project, a fire incident adjacent to the existing school required an emergency shutdown. We mobilized a temporary campus of portables away from previous facility.

- La Posada Dining Hall
Previous Next University of New Mexico - Main Campus La Posada Dining Hall Albuquerque, NM 2018 The project included a complete renovation of an outdated food service facility into a dynamic, modern new facility. La Posada is the main dining facility for students living on campus at the University of New Mexico and is open 24/7. The project involved updates to the interior to lighten, soften and better organize the space. The orientation and layout of the building lended itself naturally to a new entrance established at the southwest of the building. This location makes it a natural gathering space for student living, dining and social/assembly activities. The entrance and new canopy helped revitalize the building as well as act as a sunshade and light shelf to help brighten and evenly distribute the internal lighting of the facility. This project was the renovation of a mid-century building in need of many systems upgrades for code issues and energy consumption and much needed updates to the functionality, materiality and programming of the building. There were many needs to fill within that went beyond the budget. We worked closely with PDC and the multiple user groups to explore and balance the scope to provide the best value with the greatest impact. To track costs and maximize the limited renovation funds, V&A maintained an ongoing Scope Matrix with the overall desired scope broken into TEN discrete sections, with each individual section noting varying levels of work, from basic to extensive. The stakeholders were able to use this as a “menu” of scope options to help move the project forward. Ultimately, the majority items were implemented, which resulted in an award winning project. The existing building was harsh and lacking in natural lighting. The design motif for the renovation thus became a “curvilinear intervention” of inviting forms carried out through bright and contemporary colors and materials, combined with maximizing daylighting to soften the brutalist edges and make an engaging space. The programmatic challenge of the renovation was to rethink the outdated cafeteria notion of the original design. A linear, back-of-house cafeteria serving line was opened up and supplemented with several food platforms throughout the dining spaces, including the “Chef Innovation Theatre”, incorporating demonstrative cooking for the students, serving a variety of healthy and natural options in addition to more customary offerings. The project was exciting, beautiful and very successful. It was completed on time and below budget. The owners were very happy and the project was awarded the 2017 AIA Architectural Design Awards “Honor Award-Interior Architecture” Previous Next
- Corrales Fire Station
Previous Next Village of Corrales Corrales Fire Station Corrales, NM 2005 Under the previous firm of ASA Architects, Vigil & Associates’ president/principal Ray Vigil worked with the Village of Corrales on this project. The three-bay fire sub-station was a new pre-engineered building finished in earth-tone stucco and accented in a northern New Mexico style. There was close contact with the community throughout the design to create a building that fits into the rural & historic character of the Village of Corrales. The fabricated metal construction introduced 3 new vehicle bays, concrete site work and a new covered porch. An additional prefabricated metal building was constructed on the north corner of the existing building providing new office space, restrooms, wet bar and an additional covered patio. It allows for both future expansion of the sub-station and the future addition of an on-site training facility. Previous Next

- University House Preservation
Previous Next University of New Mexico - Main Campus University House Preservation Albuquerque, NM 2021 University House is the presidential residence on the University of New Mexico campus. Constructed in 1930, it is on the National Register of Historic places and is a Tier 1 facility (highest importance) in the Historic Preservation Implementation Plan for UNM. Because of its location and its function as a focus of many events, it is a critical facility on campus. The University of New Mexico has retained Vigil & Associates to develop design documents to repair and upgrade the exterior elements of the residence. Deterioration over many years required the repairs to exterior wood elements and stucco deterioration. A stucco expert found alternate stucco systems to address the deterioration in the existing stucco. Numerous cost estimates were needed for the very specialized work. V&A worked closely in coordination with the UNM Historic Preservation Committee. We met with the Chief Preservation Officer from the State of New Mexico to ensure improvements were approved. Once the scope of work was identified, construction documents identified the appropriate repairs. area. • COMPLETED ON TIME + UNDER BUDGET Previous Next

- Aspen Elementary School | Vigil & Associates
Previous Next Los Alamos Public Schools Aspen Elementary School Los Alamos, NM 2015 The replacement of the Aspen Elementary School utilizes integrated classroom technology. The school is a culmination of the design committee’s vision with an emphasis on new high-performance design features. It offers space for both conventional and flexible teaching. The entire school is a “Teaching Tool” for the students. Construction was phased to allow use of the building during construction. A temporary campus accommodated the displaced functions and allowed the contractor full access to the construction areas while providing students and staff safe passage to the operational building areas. It has an Energy Star Rating of 89 and incorporates sustainable strategies such as natural daylighting with thermal massing to provide passive solar heating to reduce energy consumption by 35% or $29,000 annually. The Vigil & Associates Design Team and the Construction-Manager-At-Risk (CMAR) utilized BIM to model the project, conduct in-house estimates, coordinate building systems and extract take-offs directly from the model. The building was analyzed to determine the best orientation, envelope, daylighting, shading, mechanical systems, plumbing fixtures and fenestration designs to provide the most effective, energy efficient learning environment. • A dynamic educational facility created from an outdated existing facility and new additions • Collaborative Integrated Design Process • Student-centered, high-performance school incorporating 21st-century learning environments • Design concept: Main Street connecting grade-level neighborhoods • Centralized extended learning areas and breakout spaces • Designed to LEED Silver standards • Worked within the parameters of adequacy standards and grandfathered-in additional space to address the educational program • The design was a culmination of the design committee’s vision combined with the local Los Alamos vernacular, taking cues from the original 1950 design AGC Awards “Best Buildings” & AIA Architectural “Citation Award General Design” 2015 Previous Next

- Fire Station 66
Previous Next Bernalillo County Fire Station 66 Albuquerque, NM EST. 2024 Bernalillo County Fire Station 66 will be built to serve the burgeoning growth on the west mesa of the Albuquerque metro area. With expanding manufacturing and warehouse facilities as well as future plans for residential development, Bernalillo County needed a station in close proximity to provide timely responses. In addition, the site’s close proximity to I-40 will act as a beacon for travelers who can quickly identify and pull into the station in emergency situations as well as receive fast responses for situations on the freeway itself. The design is the beginning of a new standard for the county for an expanded 11 bunk and 4 bay station to be futureproofed for many years to come. The building massing plays off of the forms and colors of the nearby three sisters volcanoes to instill a place of civic identity at the western gateway to Albuquerque. Previous Next
