New Mexico State University Center for the Arts

Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA
Tom Kessler Photography

This arts center creates both a much needed space for NMSU’s fine arts programs and gives the university a way to better connect with the surrounding community. The center features an intimate drama theatre with an orchestra pit, trap room, two balconies, and a fly tower.

59,000
square-foot facility
3
lobbies

The center also includes a large, glass-walled, 200-seat rehearsal room, outdoor terraces, lounge areas, classrooms, and support spaces. The LEED Gold-certified building features numerous sustainable technologies and techniques. Theatre Projects contributed to the certification with the use of energy-efficient theatre lighting. The arts center has been hailed as an iconic architectural gem for the city as well as an eminently capable facility for teaching and performance.
