EASTERN  NEW  MEXICO  UNIVERSITY  -  JACK WILLIAMSON  LIBERAL  ARTS  BUILDING

PORTALES, NEW MEXICO 2013

NAMED AFTER LEGENDARY SCIENCE FICTION AUTHOR JACK WILLIAMSON,
THIS BUILDING ON THE EASTERN NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY CAMPUS WAS SLATED TO BE RENOVATED. ENMU WANTED TO CONSOLIDATE MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS, CLASSROOMS, AND A CAFE INTO THIS BUILDING. IN ORDER TO DO SO, THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING IS TO BE REMOVED DOWN TO THE CONCRETE STRUCTURE. IN ADDITION TO RENOVATING THE INTERIOR SPACES, THERE WILL BE AN ADDITION THAT HOUSES THE CAFE AND ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM SPACES.

SINCE THE EXISTING STRUCTURE WAS CONCRETE, THE INTEGRATION OF NEW MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING SYSTEMS WAS DIFFICULT. WITH A GREAT TEAM OF CONSULTANTS, AND MANY CONVERSATIONS, THESE HURDLES WERE OVERCOME. THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN SPRING OF 2015.

THIS PROJECT WAS DONE WHILE I WORKED AT VAN H GILBERT, ARCHITECT, P.C. IN COLLABORATION WITH MULTIPLE STAFF MEMBERS, CONSULTANTS, AND THE CLIENT.
