This summer, students at New Mexico State University will finish moving into Chamisa Village, a four-building student housing project recently completed by Sundt. The project received 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.
To achieve its high level of sustainability, the team used environmentally preferred wood materials and efficient framing (manufactured offsite in panels) to reduce waste. Motion-controlled lighting, extensive insulation, and energy-efficient appliances also make Chamisa Village a green place to live for its 282 student residents.
Sundt’s $18.6 Construction Manager at Risk contract included construction of the new three-story buildings along with associated site development and utilities. We also performed all of the project’s concrete construction with our own crews.
