ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – With elections less than two months away, there are more than presidential candidates on the ballot. The University of New Mexico (UNM) is asking people to vote in favor of General Obligation (GO) Bond 3 as a building that is decades-old is falling apart. “What we want from our future building is a space that tells students that we are welcoming them here,” said Jennifer Malat, Dean of Arts And Sciences at the University Of New Mexico.

The humanities building was built in 1971 and has had smaller renovations since its construction. The building has been a staple on UNM’s campus for decades welcoming freshman class after freshman class. Now, a year from now, it could look completely different should the general obligation bond pass. “A review in 2020 showed that it has accessibility problems, the cost of repairs, and of renovating it in the ways that we need for it to be a modern facility for students and for faculty,” said Malat.
