Solar Pond Radiation Monitoring Project Staff Agua Dulce Self-Help Community Center El Paso County Community Development has begun construction on a passive solar adobe community center. The center is located near Horizon City, just east of El Paso. The goal of the project is to first of all construct a community center, but as the name implies, the self-help center will be built by community residents and other volunteers. The finished Center will often be used for community education programs and the construction of the Center is an extension of that idea.
Residents can participate in all phases of construction from the foundation to the roof.
Adobe is the primary building material, and through the project many area residents will be re-introduced to our areas indigenous building material.
