UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO CLARK HALL CHEMISTRY BUILDING RENOVATION

ALBUQUERQUE, NM

M+Y was tasked to renovate the UNM Clark Hall Chemistry Building constructed in 1950. The newly renovated building includes state-of-the-art class labs, research labs, lecture hall, department display, 32 faculty offices, and 8 conference rooms.

A CMAR project with Bradbury Stamm Construction, the project was able to fund a number of additional stakeholder needs included as Additive Alternates: 2 research labs, enhanced building security, entrances, and student collaboration areas. After careful survey of researcher/teacher needs, M+Y compiled a detailed space analysis for efficient lab spaces.

To achieve a project bid on budget, M+Y carried out project cost estimates on an interative basis at each design phase, with careful calculations for material quantities, unit costs to specs, and unaccounted items. All lab equipment was inventoried and design completed early, allowing CMAR pricing participation.

The project achieved a LEED Gold status in 2019.
