If you’re in Las Cruces, stop by the second floor of Branson Library to view an exhibit of aerial photographs showing the growth of NMSU’s main campus during the years 1936-1985. If you can’t make it in person, you can view the online version here: https://libexhibits.nmsu.edu/onlinexhibits/nmsu-aerials/index.html.
The exhibit highlights the construction of notable buildings on campus, like Hadley Hall, Corbett Center Student Union, and Aggie Memorial Stadium. The photographs on display are part of our University Archives photograph collection and Rio Grande Historical Collections. Additional information regarding the buildings on campus can be found in Patricia Grumet’s The buildings of New Mexico State University: NMSU’s building history volume 1 and volume 2, NMSU Board of Regents minutes, student newspaper The Round-Up, and NMSU yearbooks.
