Toles Learning Resources Center (TLRC)

Facilities in the TLRC are designed with flexibility in mind. Most labs can be used as straight computer labs, classrooms, or combination of the two. Flexibility allows for the meeting the educational needs: individual study, one-on-one with a tutor or faculty member, small groups, and complete classes.

Paul Horgan Library

Laid out in a semi-circle, the library is warm and inviting with Southwestern accents, lots of natural light, and many works of fine art. It provides seating for over 150 at tables and carrels, sofas, and deep-seated chairs. Computers are available on each floor and the entire building has wireless connectivity. The Ward Special Collection is the home of several unique collections. These include the J.P. White Napoleonic Collection, Paul Horgan Collection, Frank H.H. King Hong Kong Bank Collection, and other notable titles connected with or presented to New Mexico Military Institute. The Patterson Leisure Reading Room is a comfortable room for, as the name implies, leisure reading. Besides a collection of fine art, it is the location of current newspapers and magazines, paperbacks, and a complete set of Bronco yearbooks. These rooms are also used for study by individuals and small groups.

College and Career Center

This Center is designed as a multi-purpose room and as such, hosts many different types of learning activities. It may be used by individuals, small groups, or complete classes. Resources include information about colleges, how to apply, how to write letters of interest and resumes, financial aid, grants and standardized tests. The career collection concentrates on the professions and their educational requirements. Information is also available on special or unique educational opportunities.

Mabee Lecture Hall

This 220 seat auditorium is used for classes, lectures, and weekend movies. It is a meeting venue for on and off-campus organizations. Audiovisual resources include wired and wireless microphone systems, video projection from computer, DVD or VHS formats, document camera, and excellent room light control.

Alumni Chapel

The Alumni Memorial Chapel was dedicated 15 May 1975 to those who gave their “Last Full Measure of Devotion,” NMMI alumni who lost their lives in military service, fighting to preserve the freedoms we now enjoy. Their names and graduating classes are listed on the main bronze plaque in the Memorial Narthex. Contributions from hundreds of alumni and friends of NMMI funded the construction of the building. Lieutenant Colonel L.T. “Babe” Godfrey, Class of 1924 was both the spirit and leader of the effort for the chapel. Through his leadership and the efforts of many others, the Corps has this beautiful house of prayer.

The chapel is located at the entrance to the campus as a solid statement of NMMI’s philosophy that spiritual development is necessary for a complete education. As such, it is the spiritual center of the life of the Corps of Cadets. The chapel serves as a worship center for Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jewish and other faith groups represented in the Corps. The chapel and the chapel garden are quiet places of refuge in the midst of an otherwise hectic cadet life. Cadets come to sit in the chapel or memorial garden to study, talk quietly with friends, meditate, and pray.

Daniels Leadership Center

The Daniels Leadership Center is housed in a 25,000 square foot building located at the northwest quadrant of the NMMI campus. The Center contains a multi-use Leadership Immersion Theater, the Leadership Engagement Auditorium with tiered seating for lectures and immersed multi-media events, the Leadership Simulation and Reenactment Stage where the audience may strategize alongside famous leaders in making decisions that would affect the nation or world, and an operative Emergency Operations Center, as well as traditional computer labs, meeting and conference rooms, seminar classrooms, a resource library, and offices. The Center provides both credit and noncredit bearing instruction to high school and college cadets. In addition, the Center offers extended education and professional development programs in leadership and character education to NMMI faculty and staff, and instruction and related contractual services for external constituents, such as those representing schools, government, homeland security and defense, and the private sector. The Center also administers the activities of the Yates Leadership Challenge Complex, which houses a Leadership Reaction Course as well as a low and high Ropes Course that has a capacity to accommodate 70 participants simultaneously. In addition, the Institute’s annual Distinguished Speakers Series is hosted at the Institute through the Center. Summer school camps promoting leadership and character development, such as CHARACTER COUNTS_SM, are also sponsored by the Institute through the Center.
