UNM Rio Rancho Campus Gets Started

On Friday the University of New Mexico Rio Rancho Campus construction started with the ceremonially “Ground Breaking”. A UNM campus is something we have been excited about for many years and it’s great to see it finally getting started. The master plan is to eventually have a campus that can support 12000 students and includes a research campus and a teaching Hospital. It’s nice to see that projects like this and the Hewlett Packard center are moving forward and we look toward the future.

Here is the story by Rosalie Rayburn of the Rio Rancho Journal.
ABQJOURNAL RIO RANCHO: Ground Broken for UNM: "UNM's downtown Rio Rancho campus became a shovel-ready project Friday. City, state and University of New Mexico officials tossed a few spadefuls of sand to kick off Phase 1 of the campus."
