Physics & Astronomy and Interdisciplinary Science Building

We have moved into our new building, the Physics & Astronomy and Interdisciplinary Science building (PAÍS)! 

We've begun teaching there and getting our research labs set up again.

The new building is fabulous and we are all enjoying and getting used to the space. 

We appreciate the support from New Mexico voters for the bonds that helped make the building possible, and all the hard work by the architects and construction teams.

Come visit us at 210 Yale NE, one block north of Central and Yale.
