Much can be said about the timing of University of New Mexico Athletics’ announcement on Thursday that construction is coming soon for a new state-of-the-art performance center for all 18 Lobo programs, a project that New Mexico Mutual spearheaded with a $1 million lead gift.
UNM Athletics believes it has built some momentum along with the revelation of the New Mexico Mutual Champions Training Center, an estimated 15,000 square-foot facility that will be located inside University Stadium beyond the south end zone.
UNM hired a new basketball coach, Richard Pitino, the women’s basketball team won the Mountain West Conference regular-season title at the Pit, and the Lobo football team added a high-profile transfer quarterback, Terry Wilson, on Tuesday as some of the recent highlights.
New Mexico Mutual Announces $1 Million Lead Gift Toward New Champions Training Center
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. New Mexico Mutual, the largest writer of workers’ compensation insurance in New Mexico, has announced a $1 million lead gift to The University of New Mexico Foundation for construction of a new state-of-the-art athletic performance center that will enhance all 18 of UNM’s athletic programs.
The New Mexico Mutual Champions Training Center will be located inside University Stadium beyond the south end zone. The estimated 10-15,000 square-foot facility will allow for all Lobo teams to have the latest in athletic performance equipment and technology.
