University Medical Center of El Paso (UMC) continues to advance its bond-funded initiatives with the addition of a new local partner supporting upcoming infrastructure improvements. In April 2026, UMC formally partnered with In*Situ Architecture following the award of the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Architectural and Engineering Services for the UMC Parking Structure project.
Founded in 2011, In*Situ Architecture is led by architects William Helm, AIA, and Edgar Lopez, AIA. Since its establishment, the firm has built a strong reputation across the region for its thoughtful, context-driven approach to design. With experience spanning the public sector and educational facilities, In*Situ has earned multiple AIA design awards and continues to grow as a respected presence in the El Paso architectural community.
In*Situ Architecture provides comprehensive architectural services with a focus on contemporary design tailored to the unique environment of the Chihuahuan Desert region. Their philosophy emphasizes solutions that emerge from each project’s specific site and purpose, ensuring that every design responds to both the physical surroundings and the needs of the community it serves.
As part of the UMC Bond Program, this partnership will support the planning and design of the new parking structure, contributing to improved access and infrastructure for patients, visitors, and staff. UMC remains committed to collaborating with local and regional experts to deliver high-quality projects that meet the growing healthcare needs of El Paso County.
