| The
Doña Ana County Government Center is a 150,000 s.f.
consolidated government building located in the City of Las Cruces,
New Mexico. This $21M two story facility is oriented to maximize the views of the Organ Mountains to the east, minimize the impact of the harsh western sun and capture the natural daylight to illuminate the interior. The design is heavily influenced by the “One-Stop Shop” concept for the public users and utilizes wide avenue corridors with natural day lighting from clerestory windows above. At the intersection of the entry corridor and the main corridor is the circular rotunda that has a large domed skylight reminiscent of monumental government buildings. Agencies housed in the building include the County Manager, Administration, County Clerk, Treasurer, Assessor, Building & Zoning, Health & Human Services, County Sheriff’s Offices and the District Attorney’s Office. The exterior image is reminiscent of the historic campus architecture at the nearby New Mexico State University. The building is a contemporary example of Spanish mission architecture. The Doña Ana County Government Center officially opened in August of 2006 and has set a new standard for public administration facilities in New Mexico. The building design has a true civic presence and has been well received by the residents of Doña Ana county as a user friendly facility. The costumer service features have enabled the county staff, county manager and county commissioners to report great satisfaction of greatly improved community service. |
