Barker Rinker Seacat-Designed Recreation Center Earns AGC Building Award in New Mexico
The Associated General Contractors New Mexico Building Branch recently bestowed a Best Buildings Award on the new Las Cruces Regional Recreation and Aquatic Center. The $11-million, 35,000-sq-ft center opened in October and consists of a leisure pool, lockers, lobby, and core-and-shell for a future fitness center.
The city of Las Cruces, N.M., commissioned Las Cruces-based Steve Newby Architects and Associates Inc. and Denver-based design architect Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture to design the Las Cruces Regional Recreation and Aquatic Center in late 2006. The multiphase project is part of an existing activity complex that includes basketball, soccer, inline skating, skateboarding, BMX, baseball, softball and playground facilities.
