SMPC was selected to design a major expansion and renovation of the NMSU Pan American arena. This $23.5 million project provides better fan amenities for events including new seating, scoreboard, concessions, restrooms, sports store, and club facilities. In addition, new facilities for the basketball & volleyball programs will include a practice gym, new offices, training and locker rooms, and conference areas. Other improvements support the entertainment venue with new loading dock facilities, sound and lighting support systems, and performer’s prep room.
