Applied Sciences Building
New Mexico Tech, Socorro
Design Completion 2012

The design of the 64,000 square foot Applied Sciences Building sets a standard for subsequent development within New Mexico Tech’s Research Park. While the Research Park is approximately one mile from the main campus, the design team focused on developing design continuity with the 1930’s era, California Mission style of main campus. The building’s strong design identity strengthens the visual focus of the Research Park and ties into the historical campus design aesthetic through the two-toned tan and brick-red color scheme. The building entry and other building elements are clad in weathering steel panels to create a visual connection with the metal research mission of the building’s user group, the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center.
