Campus Design Review Committee

The Campus Design Review Committee (CDRC) brings together representatives from across UNM departments as well as external architects to review and advise on architectural changes to UNM’s landholdings. This includes new construction, additions, or alterations to building exteriors. The CDRC considers the draft Design Guidelines, relationships to the campus zone, accessibility, sustainability, and maintaining sense of place for the UNM campuses and properties.
