DEMING - Western New Mexico University is slated to have their new Deming learning center open by the end of this year.
The new location is being built on Florida Street or Highway 549 towards Red Mountain Middle School. The building will take additional time before students and faculty are able to move in.
The university with the help of the state legislature, purchased 40 acres of property in 2020 to so the university could become more accessible to Deming High School students. The new campus will at first focus on health care and sustainability providing Deming students of all age’s broader opportunities.
WNMU President Dr. Joseph Shepard has credited legislative leaders with the idea of advancing higher education within the region. Former Deming State Senator John Arthur Smith has said that the area needed to continue to attract and keep businesses here and one important aspect of that is to make sure we have a strong educational and health care system.
The current Mimbres Valley Learning Center, on the east side of the city, will continue to support the local community with Western New Mexico University pledging to keep the Learning Center campus open at least another 5 years. It is expected to operate as a trades school.
