ERO has such LEED® Gold design experience as the University Center at Harlingen (Texas State Technical College and Harlingen EDC joint-use facility for graduate studies). Other green projects include Furr High School in Houston, Donna ISD 3D Academy, City of Port Isabel Events and Cultural Center, Zapata County Higher Education Technology Center and the Zapata County Museum. For each project our approach to sustainability is recommending measures that are practical, easy to maintain and provide the most efficient use of the budget available while maintaining a positive end user experience.

ERO is renowned for award-winning, aesthetically beautiful buildings that are modern, culturally-relevant, structurally-coordinated, economical and durable designs. We understand governance and public finance and believe that great design does not have to cost more.

Since 2001, ERO Architects managed and completed more than 350 projects, touching more than 40 civic buildings, 80 higher education facilities and 120 high, 36 middle and 95 elementary schools. We have worked for more than 40 different entities, most of which are repeat customers.

We designed the City of McAllen's world-class Performing Arts Center, Hidalgo County's modern and technologically-advanced, courthouse and judicial center, UTRGV Edinburg's negligible-vibration science building, South Texas College's new simulation hospital model for nursing and healthcare training and Seguin ISD's mega, 21st Century high school along with dozens or large renovation or re-purposing projects requiring high quality construction documents, swing spaces, staging and phasing.

Municipalities, schools, businesses and neighborhoods go hand-in-glove in the successful development of communities. For centuries, churches were the centers of communities, not just for faith and spiritual growth, but also, for education, safety and social interaction. Today public facilities serve that role and more than ever tie neighbors to the community and assist in the development of the community and its prosperity. We believe culturally-relevant buildings engender a sense of ownership and responsibility from their communities and represent their quality of life. ERO uses listening and collaboration to work with the community and its leaders to develop designs that reflect respect for the local culture, values and history.

At ERO we choose conservation. We choose to respect the land and environment in which we live. Our designs mitigate the conditions or harshness of the environment in which they function. The building orientation, access to full-spectrum lighting and ease of physical circulation increase productivity. The selection of materials improves the health of occupants. Reuse of materials reduces landfill demands. The coordination of building systems reduces energy consumption. At ERO we choose to be good stewards of the environment and do it in such a way as to be meaningful conservationists.
