Second Public Meeting Seeks Design Input on Columbia Elementary. Vigil and Associates, the architectural firm contracted by Las Cruces Public Schools to design the new Columbia Elementary School, will host a public meeting Thursday, Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. to gather additional input on what parents, staff and the community would like to see in the new construction of the school.
This is the second meeting Vigil and Associates has hosted to gather public input. The firm will provide a project update on the design using feedback from an initial public input meeting held Aug. 31. They will also present results from a student and staff input session held Oct. 10.
