Museum Master Plan Study

Las Cruces communities will have opportunities to provide public input on a proposed Short Range Plan and Master Plan Study for the Las Cruces Museum System. The Las Cruces Museums engaged the team from AOS Architects of Santa Fe, along with WOLF Consulting of Las Vegas, NV, and Creative Strategies360 of Santa Fe, to facilitate the creation of a Short Range Plan and a Museum Master Plan Study for the Museum System. Community input is vital to the development and implementation of Museum goals, priorities, and strategies.

The Short Range Plan, Renewing Our Purpose, provides a guide to Museum activities and services through the fiscal year 2026, while the Master Plan Study provides an analysis of the facilities and explores possibilities for the future development of the physical environment and possible programming within the Museums’ environments.

There will be four review and public input sessions scheduled via Zoom in March and April.

The Short-Range Plan will be presented and discussed on Saturday, March 6 at 1 pm, and Wednesday, April 7 at 6 pm.
The Master Plan Study will be presented and discussed on Tuesday, March 9 at 6 pm and Saturday, April 10 at 1 pm.
You can join the conversation on Zoom at https://rebrand.ly/LCMSMasterPlan.

The public is welcome to attend any of the Zoom sessions or provide comments or concerns by email to museum.exhibitions@las-cruces.org. Further, any member of the public that wishes to be provided with updates or the schedule of future actions, should also indicate that in an email to the same address above. This Public Input period for email comments will be open from February 24 through April 10, 2021.

Public feedback will be utilized to refine the goals of the Short-Range Plan and the possibilities of the Master Plan Study. The refined plans will be presented to City Council within two months of the public input period.
