OUR CAMPUS
The original Harwood Girls’ School consisted of the current Harwood Art Center building, a one story classroom building constructed during the WPA era and Hudd Hall built in 1940.
Today, Harwood Art Center occupies most of the main building with artist studios, galleries, classrooms and offices. Harwood also owns and operates the old church building at the corner of Mountain Road and Sixth Street as a satelite gallery with UNM and a working studio for our summer apprenticeship program, and just purchased the building two doors down – previously a bail bonds office – to be used as additional studio and classroom space.
Harwood’s parent organization Escuela del Sol Montessori inhabits Hudd Hall, the WPA building and the north wing of the main building with toddler, primary and elementary classrooms, and administrative offices. In 2002, Escuela del Sol purchased the land directly east of Hudd Hall and built four additional primary classrooms.
In 2021 Harwood Art Center and Escuela del Sol are offically running on solar energy! Thank you to National Roofing and Affordable Solar for their collaboration and hard work updating our beloved building. With our architecture team from Sam Sterling Architecture and Campoverde Architects, and our contracting partners at SDV Construction, we are pusing next steps for our next Comprehensive Campus Master Plan projects.
In 2023, with our architecture team from Sam Sterling Architecture and Campoverde Architects, and our contracting partners at SDV Construction, we replaced over 200 windows with new custom Pella windows. The windows are aluclad on the outside, wood on the inside and energy efficient.
Harwood Art Center is the public program of Escuela del Sol Montessori.
