The New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NM-DWS) enhances the productivity and competitiveness of NM business and industry by improving the quality and availability of the NM workforce. NM-DWS is headquarted in the 89,000 ft2 5-story TIWA building in downtown Albuquerque, NM.
The TIWA building was originally built in 1976 and had not undergone a significant renovation leading up to this project. The majority of the building systems were failing and in need of replacement. NM-DWS engaged Yearout Energy to assist with developing a comprehensive plan to significantly renovate the building, enhancing occupant comfort, increasing the utilization rate of the available space, improving operational performance, and extending its life for the next 50 years.
