Benefits to UNM Community

This project updates student areas and provides safe and clear access to buildings. Much of the Valencia campus was constructed in the 1980s, with very little renovation to modernize the more heavily used facilities. These renovations extend the useful life and reduce existing deferred maintenance needs. The Student Center in the Arts & Science that houses the main lecture hall for the campus, is in need of renewal to improve the technology and provide an enhanced learning environment and comply with ADA standards. The campus’s southwest entry drainage issues were resolved, making it a safe and accessible pedestrian entrance. This project provided enhancements to the landscaping, and improved the wayfinding system.
