Higher Ed Project Reaches Beyond the Expected

Chamisa Village will accommodate 282 students when it is complete this winter.

Some higher education projects go beyond the expected, like Sundt’s current work for New Mexico State University (NMSU) in Las Cruces. This winter, we’ll wrap up phase two of Chamisa Village, a student housing project for NMSU that is seeking LEED Gold for Homes certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, making it the first Gold-certified multi-unit university building in the state.

Sundt’s $22 million Construction Manager at Risk contract includes construction of four new three-story buildings along with associated site development and utilities. We’re also performing all of the project’s concrete work with our own crews.  To achieve its high level of sustainability, the team is using environmentally preferred wood materials and efficient framing to reduce waste.
