Visualization Lab at UNM Receives Grant Funding

By DE Editors

The University of New Mexico (UNM; Albuquerque, NM) received a $250,000 grant to help construct the Science and Mathematics Learning Center’s new Visualization Lab in the College of Arts and Sciences.

The Visualization Lab will provide greater space for UNM’s growing population of science students, featuring state-of-the-art computing and media equipment that will provide researchers in mathematics, science, and engineering a new tool to study complex phenomena modeled by computational means. A range of students will use the facility, from future scientists from K-12 schools to postdoctoral professionals.

The building will be constructed using environmentally sound green building components and methods to more efficiently use energy, water, and materials that reduce the building impact on human health and the environment.

The grant was awarded by the Bank of America Charitable Foundation.
