Physics & Astronomy and Interdisciplinary Science Building University of New Mexico

The University of New Mexico (UNM) completed construction on its new Physics & Astronomy and Interdisciplinary Science (PAÍS) building, a $67 million project that will change the way research is done on campus. A project over 20 years in the making, the PAÍS facility houses the Department of Physics & Astronomy along with the new Interdisciplinary Science Cooperative (IS Co-op).

Every detail within the 137,000 square-foot facility—from collaborative meeting spaces to labs with open floor plans—is dedicated to encouraging interdisciplinary education and research.
