UNM WELCOME CENTER

Constructed in 1941, this gem on campus was designed by John Gaw Meem. This building initially housed the male dormitory. This soon became extra classrooms, then to transform once again into ROTC building. It will once again be used to house a different use, this time as the official UNM Lobo Welcome Center. The campus has needed a formal campus entrance where new LOBOS can be welcomed with their families. The Welcome Center will host a centralized theater space, presentation and exhibition rooms. There is a formal outdoor patio for functions and gatherings. Parking will be ample. The stories of LOBO nation will be unveiled in the building to all who seek information. The building will embrace its Pueblo Revival tradition with the addition of a modern tectonic approach to renovation and identity for the future LOBO to embrace.
