New Mexico Voters to Consider Bond Funding for UNM Medical Facility
What happened
The University of New Mexico is planning to replace Fitz Hall with a new $116 million School of Medicine education and research facility. This project is supported by a proposed General Obligation Bond 3 for Higher Education, which New Mexico voters will consider this November. The new facility is needed because Fitz Hall has served the School of Medicine for over five decades and no longer adequately supports modern medical education and research.

Why it matters
The GO Bond could provide more than $351 million for higher education projects across New Mexico, with $126.1 million allocated to the University of New Mexico. The investment aims to strengthen workforce training and modernize facilities, which could increase the medical school's capacity.
