Completion of the massive $25 million renovation of the Albuquerque Convention Center is entering the home stretch.
Bradbury Stamm Construction said the time line for an August completion is on target. Lawrence T. Peterson, vice president of business development for Bradbury, said phase two is progressing well with new ceilings, doors, wall finishes and carpet.
“The ballroom balcony is underway with new structures, glass walls and doors looking over the Civic Plaza,” Peterson said. “The bell tower structure along Third Street has been completed, as well as the structure for the grand entry.”
Peterson said part of phase two includes installing energy-efficient LED light fixtures and a new state-of-the-art digital temperature control for the air conditioning and heating systems.
The exterior is being transformed as well, from designs by project architect Dekker/Perich/Sabatini. The exterior has been repainted, and stucco is being redone on some areas.
