Eastern New Mexico University - Roswell

College History:

Roswell Community College was officially established in 1958 with 157 part-time students attending classes at Roswell High School. In 1963, the campus moved to the old federal building and daytime courses began. The closing of Walker Air Force Base led to the designation of 241 acres of land, 27 major brick buildings and several frame buildings as the ENMU-Roswell campus in 1967. In 1982, with local bond money and state appropriations, a five year building plan began and ENMU-Roswell was able to move out of old Air Force buildings into new facilities. Through a series of statewide bond issues and local bond issues, a number of new buildings have been constructed, and other facilities renovated and expanded to meet the changing needs of the campus.  The following is a list of major projects.

Projects pending are construction of Phase II of the Health Science Center, and an Educational/University Center.
