Renovation of an educational facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Working plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

As of November 13, 2025, construction has not begun yet, but is expected to start soon. The renovation will include installing a new HVAC system, updating electrical and IT infrastructure and upgrading plumbing. The renovation will occur in two phases, starting with a $35 million project funded by a general obligation bond (if approved by voters in the November election). Phase one will focus on upgrading the first, second and third floors of the building, including mechanical systems, office and classroom improvements. The second phase, estimated at $28 million, will address the basement, which houses many of the college’s wet laboratories, and complete any remaining work from phase one. Funding has yet to be secured for phase two.
