Description
The UNM’s campus is a wonderful representation of southwestern architecture. From the classic designs of John Gaw Meem to the very modern plans of Antoine Predock and others, UNM provides a rich variety of Southwest building styles. This walking tour begins at Hodgin Hall and covers UNM’s main campus. Sukey Ferguson, who practically grew up at UNM, highlights buildings that are especially interesting in terms of design and/or history. NOTE: You will receive a map for parking near Hodgin Hall prior to the tour. You will also receive a parking pass when you arrive. This is a walking tour but there will be some spots where you may sit. Limited enrollment.
Sukey Ferguson was born and raised in Albuquerque. Her father’s architecture firm designed many of the buildings at UNM. She received her degree in English and anthropology, and her post-baccalaureate in education from UNM. As an elementary school teacher, she studied architecture for children and inspired many students in the principles of observation, design, and love of buildings.
