UNM’s partnerships with National Laboratories are integral to supporting our research, education, and service mission. To foster these relationships and increase our research capacity, the College of Arts & Sciences has partnered with Sandia National.
“Psyche” is both the name of an asteroid in the main belt, orbiting out past Mars, and the name of a NASA mission to visit that asteroid. The upcoming exploration of this asteroid marks an important first for humankind: NASA has sent people or robots to.

NAIOP’s signature award, designed to celebrate the projects that has had the most impact on the physical and economic development environment, was given this year to the University of New Mexico’s Physics & Astronomy Interdisciplinary Science Facility.
The new four-story, 139,000-square-foot research center near Central and Yale will house physics, astronomy and interdisciplinary sciences. The facility includes a number of types of laboratories, classrooms, an interior living room, offices and group spaces.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The star of the NAIOP New Mexico 2020 Awards of Excellence rests at the “front door” of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
It includes a $3 million, one-of-a-kind electron microscope for particle physics, optics labs, neutron lab and a living room.
Informally, it’s a 139,000-square-foot building that goes by the acronym of PAIS. In Spanish, said Christopher Carian, senior project manager with UNM Planning, Design & Construction and project manager for the building, “país” means “country.”

“That is a great name, since the facility brings together so many University of New Mexico science departments and outside science entities,” he said.
