PROJECT DETAILS
New 62,000-sf Science and Math Learning Center at the University of New Mexico (UNM) main campus. The four-floor facility (three above grade and one below), includes a 200-seat auditorium, visualization lab, "smart" classrooms, science labs, department and faculty offices, and study areas, and is designed to promote freshmen-level integration between four departments, including mathematics, chemistry, biology, and earth and planetary sciences. In addition, the building includes distance learning facilities.
McCarthy’s work also included: specialized laboratory mechanical systems, structural steel framing, laboratory casework and equipment, acoustical lay-in ceilings, HVAC, and special systems work; site work improvements to pedestrian circulation; and site work infrastructure, including major relocations of sewer, telecommunications and electrical services.
The facility was designed and constructed to meet the sustainability requirements of the United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design’s (LEED) Gold certification.

“The team at McCarthy REALLY SET THEMSELVES APART with their complete management plan that encompassed the whole project and displayed clear direction and responsibilities. Their plan also addressed the numerous site utility challenges and the specialized teaching environment infrastructure supports that will be required.”
