While originally from Lebanon, Missouri, Predock has stated that he considers himself an Alburquerque native. He studied engineering and architecture at the University of New Mexico (UNM), and he eventually established his first studio, Antoine Predock Architect PC, in Albuquerque in 1967. 

The AIA Gold Medal-winning architect is a prominent supporter of the University of New Mexico’s School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P). He’s designed several projects on the UNM campus, including the Cornell parking structure, the original UNM School of Law building, and George Pearl Hall, which houses SA+P. Predock’s also carried out an array of projects across New Mexico, including the La Luz community, Albuquerque Museum, Rio Grande Nature Center, and Spencer Theater. 

In 2017, SA+P announced the creation of the Predock Center for Design and Research in Predock’s former residence and workspace in downtown Albuquerque. 

“A force in the world of architecture, we’re fortunate to have Antoine involved at the School and helping create meaningful opportunities for our students,” said Robert Alexander González, dean of the UNM School of Architecture and Planning. “The Predock Center continues to be a space where students can collaborate and seek inspiration, as does George Pearl Hall, which he designed and remains a fixture of the campus.”
