Legacy Committee

The Legacy Committee’s goal is to build a living archive to record and celebrate the work of past and current architects and architecture firms in El Paso. This living archive will be made available to the public and is intended to serve as a learning tool to promote a better understanding of the architecture profession and showcase the rich history of El Paso’s built environment.
