The IAIA Museum Renovation Project: Goal $250,000
 The
IAIA Museum, home of the National Collection of Contemporary Indian
Art, has received a $250,000 Save America’s Treasures Grant
from the National Park Service toward needed renovations of its historic
building located just off the Santa Fe Plaza. Private support is being
solicited to meet the 1:1 match required for the federal dollars and more.
Built in 1922, the building was listed on the National Register in 1974.
In 1989, the State of New Mexico transferred the building to IAIA for
its Museum and it was substantially renovated before the Museum assumed
occupancy in 1992. However, several serious problems have arisen which
affect the building’s stability, the health of its Collection, and
the Museum’s outreach efforts. These problems were identified in
an Architectural Assessment Report by David G. Battle of Southwest Preservation
Services, as part of a 2001 Institute of Museum and Library services Conservation
Assessment Program grant and have been re-validated by Mazria Riskin Odems,
Inc. of Santa Fe and Landmark Facilities Group of East Norwalk, CT. Some
of the priorities are:
- New Roof - $125,000
- Window Retrofit - $60,000
- HVAC - $313,000
- Floors - $30,000
