unmh - Behavioral Health crisis center

CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE - ALBUQUERQUE, NM

The Behavioral Health Crisis Center (BHCC) is part of a collaborative effort between Bernalillo County and UNMH located on the University of New Mexico North Campus. The facility will help Bernalillo County and UNMH fulfill their goal of providing compassionate, respectful, and round-the-clock care to serve a vastly underrepresented population in a dignified setting. Special daylighting, circulation, safety, and ligature resistance elements are central to the concept. The project is set to meet LEED Silver certification through material selection, energy/resource conservation, and demolition/construction waste management efforts.
