Art Annex

The Art Annex is a university building in New Mexico designed with characteristic Pueblo Revival features, including rounded corners, adobe construction, and textured wall surfaces. Inside are studios and exhibition spaces where different artistic work takes place and is displayed.

The building dates to 1926 and was designed by architects Trost & Trost, who helped establish the Pueblo Revival style in New Mexico. Its purpose changed in 1938 when the university library moved elsewhere and the building was converted into an art studio facility.

The building has long served as a hub for artistic training, drawing students from various disciplines who exhibited their work within its walls. The spaces speak to the artists who work daily between these walls, creating a place where different creative practices intersect.

The building sits in the heart of the campus and is easy to reach on foot, with parking available nearby. Visitors should know this is a working art space, so hours and access may vary depending on ongoing activities.

The building features tall windows with angled openings at the top, specifically designed to direct light into the former library reading areas. These design features remain visible today and show thoughtful architectural solutions from an earlier era.
