![]() Construction could begin later this year on what is being called an “opportunity center” that will be a part of the larger Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque. Located at 2401 12th Street NW, the nonprofit cultural center is run by New Mexico’s 19 Indian Pueblos. Centerpiece of the 80-acre site is a 10,000 square foot museum showcasing both contemporary as well as historic Pueblo art and artifacts. Recent development at the site has seen the building of structures featuring classroom meeting space and a restaurant, for a combined 21,000 square feet. The proposed opportunity center, which could cost at least $10 million to build, will house classroom space, collaborative workspace, and a culinary incubator. In an interview with the Albuquerque Journal, Mike Canfield, chief executive officer of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, said the opportunity center would be focused on skills training and financial literacy. The collaborative work space will feature equipment and tools for making pottery and jewelry, while the classroom space will house business classes, among other things. Funding for the project, which currently has no precise construction schedule, is expected to come from a variety of sources. By Garry Boulard
