A 2 story building program for an addition of an Education Center to the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History (aM), which emerged out of a close collaboration between SSA, aM staff, and feedback from various stakeholder groups and the general public.

One of the main challenges/opportunities for this project was providing the desired amount of new program in a limited amount of space, that preserved a portion of the existing sculpture garden and respected the historical context of the site. As a means of exploring solutions, SSA held an open charrette with aM staff, local artists, and local art educators.

Additionally, SSA took up residence at the museum for two days to discuss the project with interested community members while working on models to help understand and explain the project.
