Celebrating the traditions and history of Mexican American culture

Exigo designed El Paso’s first and only Mexican American Cultural Center. The schematic design of the project reflects and promotes the values, traditions, and history of Mexican American culture in the border region. The result is a distinct project that is not only functional but also helps communicate the rich narrative of the community’s heritage.

Located in the heart of El Paso’s Downtown Museum District, the MACC converts 20,000 SF of the original Main Library and adds a 20,000 SF expansion to create a modern Cultural Center. The facility includes exhibit halls, a black box theatre, an auditorium, dance and lecture classrooms, culinary classroom kitchens, and a rooftop terrace. The Center also features an outdoor amphitheater, performance plaza, and a large screen for evening concerts and movie nights.
