The new campus Welcome Center located in the Cornell Parking Structure is one of several department moves around campus this fall. If you have been thinking that programs and departments are relocating all over campus, it’s true. There is as much activity in progress this year as there has been over the past fourteen in terms of construction.
As of July, the projects in some stage of design, planning and construction total $413,952,300. This includes the new UNM Children’s Hospital and Critical Care Pavilion Expansion Project. All the projects constructed since 1990 total $404,107,919.
There are a variety of reasons for the growth. There is a much greater demand for services, as student enrollment for all campuses has grown by more than 12 percent. The UNM budget has grown from $577 million in 1991-92 to almost $1.4 billion today. UNM has also undertaken a program of restructuring bond indebtedness to take advantage of lower interest rates.
Construction and department moves on the north campus are near a peak right now as the buildings are cleared to accommodate future construction, but another peak wave of moves will come in three years when the hospital buildings are complete and departments move into the new space.
