The building that has been the home for communication and journalism students at the University of New Mexico for the past six decades is undergoing a complete interior renovation.
The UNM Communication & Journalism department is hosting a Construction Carnival on Friday, April 21, from 2 – 4 p.m. at the C&J building, located at Central and Yale, to celebrate the renovation. The UNM community is invited to attend and enjoy live music, a poetry slam, a graffiti wall, free food and other activities.
Plans for the 58-year-old building include a new broadcast studio, a second computer lab, a student lounge and library, a multi-purpose workspace and additional classroom space. The renovation is funded from a bond issue that was approved by the UNM regents in June 2005. Construction is expected to be completed in 2007.
Free parking and shuttle service is available from the UNM South Lot. For directions, visit Parking. For event information, contact the C&J Department at (505) 277-9778 or cjground@unm.edu.
