Item A child development center for the disadvantaged(Texas Tech University, 1993-08) Mimbela, RobertDesigning a physical environment that stimulates cognitive growth in disadvantaged children from lower-income backgrounds enriches their educational, cultural and social experiences. There have been studies showing that children from lower-class backgrounds, when compared to children from middle-class backgrounds tend to score lower when given IQ tests. These studies revealed that children from lower-class backgrounds suffer from a severe discrepancy between ability and achievement from the primary result of environmental, cultural and economic disadvantages. In order to rectify this discrepancy, we must understand that a child's cognitive development progresses in three different stages which are the following: l)sensori-motor intelligence, 2)concrete operations and 3) formal operations. By studying these stages, one can have an understanding of how a child's behavior is different in each stage. Therefore, one can create physical settings for a particular stage that would create activities to help promote a child's cognitive growth. For example, these activities may include problem solving techniques and activities to develop motor skills, etc. The facility will be located in the south sector of El Paso, Texas, near the downtown area. The site is located in a neighborhood which is predominantly lower-income class and from Hispanic background. Just south of the site is the border highway, which borders the city of Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. North of the site is downtown El Paso. This site is ideal for the facility which will serve the parents and the disadvantaged children of the community that is economically and environmentally oppressed. The proposed Child Development Center for the Disadvantaged will be an asset to a child's development. The demand for centers like this has been increasing drastically due to the entry of mothers in the work force and the understanding that a child's earliest experiences are crucial for later ability to learn. The proposed center will offer a place where young children grow and learn. Also, this center will be flexible and scaled for children but will also be comfortable for the adults who work and visit there. The size of the proposed facility will be 14,960 square feet and will accommodate approximately 60 children.Item A city government center, El Paso, Texas(1964-05) Hall, IvanItem A community-school for Ysleta in El Paso,Texas(Texas Tech University, 1981-12) Lopez, MarioNot availableItem Item A Program for The Cancer Treatment Center of El Paso(Texas Tech University, 1977-05) Trimble, Craig NNot Available.Item A program for the reuse of the Union passenger terminal: El Paso, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1978-05) Hill, CharlesNot availableItem A Recreation Center and Sports Park for Downtown El Paso, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1985-12) Molina, Mark AlanNot Available.Item Item A wholesale-retail produce market for El Paso, Texas(1968-01) Shaw, Ronald J.Item An automobile dealership for American Motors, El Paso, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1972-05) Vaughn, George P.Not availableItem Item Item Downtown Trolley Car Station Facility: El Paso, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1985-08) Hadley, Scott ANot Available.Item Eastwood Children's Hospital: El Paso, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1982-05) Virgen-Rich, JorgeThe main objective of the proposed children's hospital is to create an environmental space sioitable for the children's psychological well being during medical treatment, the aura of the building raust coincide with that of the children, fulfilling their particular needs.Item Item El Paso state facility for the mentally retarded(Texas Tech University, 1980-12) Gipson, William GNot availableItem Hyatt Regency convention center hotel for downtown central business district, El Paso, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1985-05) Robertson, Keith D; Garvin, W.

Free youth, of course, are youth who are free to learn, free to do and free to speak. It is the obvious intention, and probably the destiny of American people to benefit individually and collectively from the best that higher education has to offer. It is my intention and purpose of this project to seek through programming and architectural concepts, a design solution for a secondary school that will offer topics of interest to the youth from El Paso's Lower Valley Community area.Item Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, El Paso, Texas(Texas Tech University, 1982-05) Navarro, SamuelNone
