The LLSS Department office is located on the first floor of Hokona Hall; most faculty offices are on the second floor. The Linguistics Department is located on the fifth floor of the Humanities Building in the center of the UNM campus; faculty offices are also located on the first floor of Humanities, as well as a graduate student computer lab. The Linguistics Department office maintains a mailbox for each graduate student in Educational Linguistics. Be sure to check your mailbox regularly for special notices or for any mail that may be directed to the department for you.

The research environment is enriched each year by a colloquium series featuring prominent scholars from around the world and informal brown bag lunch talks at which faculty and graduate students report on their research. The two sponsoring departments also typically have several visiting scholars each year who enliven the scholarly interchange.

The College of Education houses Tireman Library, with a large collection of educational books and materials, including those appropriate for school-aged English Language Learners. The Linguistics Department offers a small departmental library and a pleasant study area. The library operates on the honor system for checking out books.
