Scheduled for completion in 2022, this building will complete the New Mexico Museum of Art's mission of "One Museum in Two Locations", providing a new home for their contemporary art collections and shows. The building will provide spaces for collections, galleries, and education. The project is comprised of a 15,000 square foot addition that bridges over an existing 20,000 square foot 1930's brick and steel warehouse.
Circulation core attached to south side of existing building, with artist's residence at top floor. The project required a major renovation of the existing building shell to provide new lithography press rooms, classrooms, gallery, and offices, while a new stair and elevator tower connects the lithography workshop ant the public galleries with a private artist in residence penthouse.
