University of New Mexico will build facility for fine arts college
The University of New Mexico is set to break ground next month in Albuquerque on the Center for Collaborative Arts & Technology.
The university says the 60,000 square-foot facility for the university's College of Fine Arts will serve as a central hub for innovation, creativity, and collaboration.
"This unique facility will enrich our relationships with our state’s cultural communities and business sector partners to spur creative and economic growth," says university President Garnett S. Stokes.
The facility will be built on the southeast corner of Stanford Drive and Central Avenue—a major corridor and leg of the historic U.S. Route 66, and will act as a new arts gateway into The University of New Mexico.
With state-of-the-art spaces, rehearsal rooms, a 600-seat multipurpose performance hall, and dynamic collaborative workspaces, the center aligns with the College of Fine Arts’ Framework Plan and the vision of a space where ideas flow freely across disciplines.
The architect is Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
