“A well designed campus is a crucible for social engagement, one that facilitates and enhances engagement and discovery. A variety of events, experiences – formal and informal interaction – routines and personal relationships may be sustained in a campus environment in ways that enrich societal discourse as well as contribute to intellectual inquiry and discovery. The well planned campus provides memorable places that promote community and collegiality,” UNM School of Architecture Dean Roger Schluntz said.
