OLD SCHOOL

摘要

Following tangled legal disputes and competing development proposals that led to 25 years of neglect, the Old Albuquerque High School (AHS) campus has been revitalized to include 69 loft apartments, two community meeting rooms, parking, and the promise of a whole lot more. Rob Dickson and his company Paradigm & Co., formerly of Austin, Texas, have brought vitality back to the extra-wide hallways of Old AHS. "Rob came into my office in 1989 and said he had a vision for redeveloping Old Albuquerque High School into a live/work downtown housing project," says project architect Dale Dekker, principal with Dekker/Perich/Sabatini, Albuquerque. "I said, 'Boy, this guy better be patient because it's going to take a long time.' And it did."
