Three campuses belonging to Eastern New Mexico State University are expected to see facility and infrastructure work if the statewide General Obligation Bond C passes in the upcoming November election.
That work will include renovations to research and technology space at the Roosevelt Science Center on ENMU’s main Portales campus, a project for which some $7 million in bond funding is targeted.
That funding will be combined with $8 million from a 2018 bond for the Roosevelt Center project.
An additional $1 million will go for general infrastructure work on the Portales campus.
The school’s Roswell branch campus is in line for $1.8 million in bond funding to put in new LED lighting and security upgrades via the installation of some 350 new surveillance cameras.
An additional $1.5 million will go to ENMU’s Ruidoso campus for what are described as “general infrastructure improvements.”
If approved, Bond C will provide more than $150 million statewide for college, university, and specialty school facility and infrastructure projects across New Mexico.
