Drawing upon his interest in the preservation, restoration, and revival of the local indigenous architecture, Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem designed an exquisite complex of Spanish Pueblo Style buildings at the University of New Mexico, from 1934-1959. After seventy five years, Meem's Zimmerman Library (1938) remains, architecturally and symbolically, the iconic centerpiece of the campus and still functions as the main university library. As intended by Meem, Zimmerman, like the local pueblo buildings which served as its model, expands with the needs of faculty, students, staff, and the local community, remaining the heart of UNM's lively modern campus, while retaining its character as one of New Mexico's premier historic buildings.
