Last Wednesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming CREDA Southern Nevada Chapter members to the award-winning West Las Vegas Library for a behind-the-scenes look at a space that is redefining what a library can be.
Led by John Vino of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, together with KME Architects Principals Emanuele Arguelles and Melvin Green, the tour explored the vision and design behind the library from its flexible community spaces and digital media resources to the many ways the building supports education, creativity, technology, and opportunity. West Las Vegas Library is much more than a place for books; it was designed as a true community destination for the Historic Westside and for generations to come.
A special thank you to Jericha Deaux and the CREDA Education Committee for organizing the visit, and to all of the CREDA members who joined us and brought such thoughtful questions and conversation. We always enjoy the opportunity to share the story behind this special project and the thinking that shaped it.

Congratulations to Eric Gross on being accepted into the CREDA Southern Nevada Chapter 2027 DLI Class! 🎉
We’re incredibly excited for Eric as he takes this next step in his leadership journey. The Development Leadership Institute (DLI) brings together professionals who are helping shape the future of our industry and community, creating opportunities to grow as leaders, build meaningful relationships, and deepen their understanding of development in Southern Nevada.
For those of us at KME Architects, Eric’s selection comes as no surprise.
For 11 years, Eric has been an integral part of KME. As a Project Manager and member of our leadership team, he brings an exceptional level of responsibility, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail to everything he does. He is thorough, design-focused, dependable, and deeply committed to delivering work our clients and our entire team can be proud of.
But what we value most is the consistency and dedication Eric has brought to KME year after year. Eleven years of loyalty speaks volumes, and we are fortunate to have him as part of our team and our continued growth.
Eric, congratulations on this well-deserved achievement. We’re proud of you, excited for what’s ahead, and can’t wait to see what you bring back from the DLI Class of 2027! 👏

What does it take to build the next chapter of a university?
Last week, our KME Architects team had the opportunity to attend the Nevada State University Resilient Campus Expansion presentation and hear the vision for what comes next.
The story of Nevada State is remarkable. Founded in 2002 as Nevada State College, the institution officially became Nevada State University in 2023. This year, it celebrated its 10,000th graduate and welcomed a record enrollment of more than 8,800 students.
And there is still so much ahead.
With approximately 452 acres of undeveloped land, Nevada State has an extraordinary opportunity to thoughtfully shape not just additional buildings, but an entire university environment for generations to come.
What stood out to us from an architectural perspective was the emphasis on designing with the Mojave Desert rather than fighting against it embracing the landscape while responding thoughtfully to extreme heat, water conservation, shade, wind, connectivity, and the realities of building in Southern Nevada.
Equally inspiring is the collaboration behind the vision. University leadership, ULI Nevada, community stakeholders, public and private partners, and dedicated volunteers have invested significant time and expertise into exploring how this land can best serve students and the surrounding community.
There are still important questions ahead infrastructure, partnerships, funding, and ultimately how the vision will be brought to life. But bold projects begin with bold ideas, committed people, and a willingness to think long-term.
From a college founded in 2002 to a university preparing for its next generation of growth, Nevada State has already come a long way.
We’re excited to see what the next 20+ years will bring.

What a wonderful celebration of CREDA Southern Nevada Chapter’s 40th Anniversary! ✈️🥂

One of the most memorable parts of the evening was looking back through 40 years of photos and memories. Seeing the people, the projects, the friendships, and how our commercial real estate community has grown and changed over four decades was incredibly moving one of those moments that makes you a little nostalgic and reminds you just how much history can be created in 40 years.

And what a venue! Celebrating at AltAir Sky Lounge at AREA15, built around the iconic repurposed 747, made the evening even more special for us at KME Architects. Our team had the opportunity to laser scan the aircraft when it returned to Las Vegas in pieces, capturing the connection points needed to help put it back together for its final destination. Seeing it transformed into this incredible space and filled with people celebrating such an important milestone was pretty special.

Great food, great swag, and most importantly, great people. CREDA has become one of our most favorite organizations because of the relationships I’ve built here. The connections, conversations, and friendships have become genuinely meaningful to me and that’s what makes events like this so much more than just networking.

Congratulations to CREDA Southern Nevada on 40 incredible years. Here’s to the people who built the foundation, the people carrying it forward today, and the next 40 years! 🥂✈️
