The Center for Collaborative Arts & Technology (CCAT) will be a central hub for the UNM College of Fine Arts (CFA) where exhibition spaces, rehearsal rooms, a 600+ seat concert hall, and collaborative workspaces will be housed under a single roof. The CCAT, as outlined in the UNM College of Fine Art’s Framework Plan, aims to be a catalyst for creativity, innovation, and collaboration among students, faculty, and the wider Albuquerque arts community. This project holds immense importance for UNM's College of Fine Arts, as it seeks to cultivate future creatives and audiences while advancing a critical, creative workforce, and boosting New Mexico’s economy. The new $65 million facility, funded by general obligation bonds approved in the 2022 New Mexico Legislature and by New Mexico’s voters, as well as institutional bonds, will address the growing demand for a state-of-the-art arts education. It will support the College of Fine Arts' vision of collaboration, integration, and interdisciplinarity while enhancing New Mexico's contemporary arts community.
