New York Avenue and isregarded as not being up to current needs,with a lack of space, and no sprinklersystem. Additional reported problems haveincluded holding cell issues and both heatingand cooling systems deficiencies.The courthouse was completed in early1956 and formally inaugurated in June ofthat year.Controversy regarding the condition of thebuilding has been ongoing for nearly adecade but reached a boiling point in 2018when the 12th Judicial Court began legalproceedings against Otero County, arguingthat the county was failing to provideadequate facilities as required by state law.That lawsuit partly resulted in the hiring of aconsultant tasked with conducting afeasibility study on how much it would costto upgrade the facility.The decision to build an entirely new facilityCONSTRUCTION NEWSNEW MEXICO

won the approval of the Otero CountyCommission more than a year ago, resultingin the Las Cruces-based ASA Architectsbeing brought in to design the structure.

Amador and dedicating itself tothe mission of providing a host of services tothe homeless.In 2011 it garnered media attention when itopened a facility called Camp Hope, adesignated tent community on land itowned, for up to 50 people or so. Five yearslater, the group built a $65,000 shower andbathroom facility on the same site.The Camp Hope effort was subsequentlylauded in a report published by the NationalLeague of Cities, noting that the site“crucially allows those experiencinghomelessness to live with dignity while intransition to more permanent and stablehousing.”The City of Las Cruces has been historicallysupportive of the efforts of the MVCH,approving a $4 million purchase for nearly 5acres of land once owned by the Brewer OilCompany to be used for the nonprofit’spurpose.According to city information, the newMVCH facility will accommodate what aredescribed as “chronically homelessresidents,” in a space designed to assistresidents to “heal, stabilize, and grow.”The project is currently in the planning anddesign stage.27BUILTENVIRONMENTState funding has been secured for a projectin Las Cruces that will see the building of anew affordable housing projectspearheaded by a well-known localnonprofit.Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has givenher signature to a nearly $6 million capitaloutlay approved earlier this year by NewMexico lawmakers to help build asupportive housing complex that will housesome 50 units.LONG-TIME LAS CRUCES HOMELESSSHELTER GROUP GETSFUNDING FOR NEWRESIDENTIAL FACILITYBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter04/19/2024Copyright: Canva ProCopyright: Canva Pro

38BUILTENVIRONMENTCONSTRUCTION NEWSTRENDSAfter a splurge of activity during the monthsof the Covid 19 lockdown and afterwards,home improvement and repair work isexpected to see a decline lasting throughoutthe rest of this year and into 2025.In a new report just issued by the JointCenter for Housing Studies of HarvardUniversity it is noted that overall projectwork and spending is slated to drop byaround 7% by the late summer of this year.That figure stands in contrast to theunprecedented double-digit gains between2020 and 2021, culminating in a historicincrease of 17.3% in the third quarter of2022.In a statement, Abbe Will, associate projectdirector of the Remodeling Futures HOME REMODELINGPROJECTS ANDEXPENDITURES ONDOWNWARD TREND,SAYS NEW REPORTBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter04/19/2024Copyright: Canva ProProgram, which is a part of the HarvardCenter, remarked: “At $451 billion,spending on homeowner improvements andrepairs over the coming year is anticipatedto be slightly lower than the $463 billionover the last year.”In fact, the dollar high for the remodelingindustry was reached early in 2023 whenthe figure stood at $490 billion.The Harvard Center uses a model called theLeading Indicator of Remodeling Activitywhich is designed to provide a short termoutlook on repair spending and homeimprovement projects nationally. The modellooks at home repair and improvementexpenditures over a span of four quarters.Using that model illustrates the dramaticincrease in home improvement spendingover time, from around $123 million in early2004 to $148 million a decade later. Themodel also shows the devastating impactthe Great Recession had on spending thathad precipitately dropped to $108 millionby early 2012.Although this year’s numbers are down,ongoing opportunities for remodeling and

updating projects continue to exist indifferent pockets of the country. In a pressrelease issued from the Harvard Center,Carlos Martin, project director with theRemodeling Futures Program, observed:“The nation’s aging homes continue to needinvestment in critical replacements, homeperformance deficiencies, as well asmodernization.”As lab designers, we are always striving tobetter understand the needs of labscientists—the end users who our spaces aredesigned for.

Senate Bill 106 is a response to theConstruction Defect Action Reform Act,which was passed in 2001 and limited theliability of builders for defects in a buildingproduct.The 2001 legislation was sparked by anoutpouring of litigation over constructiondefects, making it substantially moredifficult for what were considered to befrivolous lawsuits to be filed. In the process,the law also encouraged dispute resolutionspreliminary to a lawsuit being filed.COLORADOLEGISLATURE ON VERGEOF PASSING NEWCONTROVERSIALCONSTRUCTIONDEFECTS BILLBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 04/19/2024Copyright: Canva ProUnder the new legislation, builders will havethe right to address a defects issue beforeany litigation can be launched. In addition,the bill would increase to two-thirds thethreshold of consent by fellow members of agiven homeowners association leading to alawsuit.Because of the threat of lawsuits, manybuilders in Colorado have in recent yearsshied away from taking on condominiumprojects. That move, according to a varietyof experts, has contributed to both a lack ofhousing and an increase in housingconstruction costs.In response to the pending bill andlegislative debate surrounding it, GovernorJared Polis has remarked: “We understandthat conversations have been ongoing andencourage all sides to stay at the table andget a meaningful constructive reform billthat reduces condo costs to the Governor’sdesk.”The bill has not been without opposition.Democrat Senator Faith Winter last monthremarked that the proposal would putobstacles in the way of condo owners tryingto get issues resolved by builders.
