Site work and renovation of a mixed-use development in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

New Mexico State University received $50.5 million from Higher Education General Obligation Bond Question 3 in the Nov. 5 elections. The university will split the money into six different projects: $20 million to upgrade aging steam tunnel and electrical infrastructure at the main Las Cruces campus. $15 million to update research infrastructure at NMSU’s science and research centers across New Mexico. $10 million for construction on NMSU’s main campus for a new facility that will support an undisclosed specialized instructional need. $3 million for improvements on Martinez Hall at NMSU’s Grants campus. $1.5 million for the loop road and emergency evacuation routes at the Gadsden Center at Doña Ana Community College, a branch of NMSU. $1 million for renovations for facilities and infrastructure at NMSU’s Alamogordo campus. This project at the Las Cruces campus will replace aging deficient steam distribution infrastructure, improve the utility reliability, increase energy efficiency, and reduce operations and maintenance costs campuswide. It will also improve the indoor air quality at our facilities, increasing student, faculty and staff comfort and protecting our research endeavors. With this funding, we’ll also be able to replace end-of-life electrical infrastructure needed to improve reliability, resiliency and safety, and replace substations, coordination relays, transformers, switchgear, cables, overhead to underground conversions, and vaults to better support renewable technology implementations. As of November 18, 2024, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified.
