Women's Dormitory Building Renovations

• Project valueCouncil appropriated a budget of $350,000.00

Los Alamos County Capital Projects held a neighborhood meeting on May 2, 2024 to discuss the Zoning Amendment Request. Attached is the Presentation(PDF, 4MB) that was shared by the architect.

 

The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) suggested conducting an archeological study of the location outside the building for a new standalone restroom. Staff are reviewing the project budget to determine if the study can be accommodated. The building was vandalized with several windows broken. Windows have since been boarded and additional security measures implemented. Work on a site plan / utility plan is ongoing.
