New Mexico Tech

It's been way more than a month of Sundays since I walked around the NM Tech campus in Socorro (I went there freshman and sophomore years, in 1974-75). Lots of changes in the intervening thirty years!

New Name-a-Brick monument in the central space on campus. Most of the names on the bricks were unfamiliar, but EJ Workman rang a bell.

Ye Gods - the new Student Center! Workman Center is in the background.

Subdued construction workers on the roof gaze down at the ground, just seconds after they lost control of a hard hat, which came crashing down and clattered on the ground. This building is in-between Cramer and Weir Halls.

Student residence South Hall used to look like a Motel 6 back in the day. Today, it looks like a La Quinta Motor Inn.

In contrast to South Hall, despite ongoing construction, and some faux southwestern-style roofing material, student residence West Hall looks reassuringly familiar.
