Abstract:	CARMA has merged the BIMA millimeter array and the OVRO millimeter array and will add the new SZA array to form a unique 23 antenna heterogeneous imaging array with three different antenna sizes. The instrument will have imaging capabilities at millimeter and centimeter wavelengths, with a bandwidth of 8 GHz and resolution of 0.13 arcseconds. The university based nature of CARMA will provide hands on training for young astronomers and serve as a testbed for technical innovation. CARMA is located at 7200' (2200 m) at a new site in the Inyo National Forest in California and is currently in the commissioning phase. The current status of the project is presented in this paper, including infrastructure, hardware and software.
