18 [the changing landscape] OPENING DOORS
19 CAPITAL PROJECTS In <strong>2007</strong> UNM celebrated completion of two new buildings as well as major renovations to two existing facilities. George Pearl Hall was formally dedicated in October. Home of the School of Architecture and Planning and the Fine Arts and Design Library, the 108,000 square foot building cost $28.7 million to construct and, along with the UNM Bookstore, now serves as an impressive gateway to the Albuquerque main campus. Strategically situated on historic Route 66, Pearl Hall is a modern interpretation of UNM’s Spanish Pueblo Revival Style architecture designed by Antoine Predock, an American Institute of Architects Gold Medalist and alumnuss of UNM. The building is named for George Pearl, FAIA, a long-time, much beloved Albuquerque architect and preservationist who died in 2003. Domenici Center for Health Sciences Education is a 48,000 square foot, $16 million state-of-the-art facility designed to advance medical education and training for all health sciences at UNM – the School of Medicine, the Colleges of Nursing and Pharmacy, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences, Public Health and Biomedical Sciences. The Center was named after New Mexico Senator Pete Domenici, a stalwart supporter of New Mexico health education. Phase I of the threephase project includes two buildings that house a 300-seat auditorium, several smalland medium-sized classrooms, a medical bookstore, conference rooms, student and administrative meeting spaces, a lactation room and more. The Communication and Journalism building’s $4 million facelift added a new broadcast studio, a second computer lab, a student lounge and library, a multi-purpose workspace and additional classroom space. The building reopened in August. From an old, dark basement to a shiny, well-lighted facility, the transformation of the lowest floor of the UNM biology department’s Castetter Hall is remarkable. Now virtually complete, the $7 million basement renovation project has reconfigured and remodeled the oldest parts of the building into a modern teaching complex for introductory biology classes that includes five new student teaching labs.
