AIA El Paso Firm Crawl – Architecture Week 2025
In celebration of Architecture Week, AIA El Paso is partnering with the EPISD CCTE Architecture and Engineering Program to host a weeklong Firm Crawl event. From April 14–17, high school students will have the opportunity to visit local architecture and engineering firms across El Paso.
The Firm Crawl is designed to introduce students to real-world practice through office tours, presentations, and conversations with professionals in the field. Each day, students will visit two firms, where they’ll learn about the different roles in a design office, see projects in progress, and hear career advice from architects and engineers.
This event aims to inspire the next generation of designers, expand their understanding of career pathways, and strengthen connections between the professional and academic communities in El Paso.
