The Public Works Administration (PWA) financed construction of buildings on the campus of the University of New Mexico (UNM), including the Zimmerman library constructed between 1936–38. Discusses the Spanish-Pueblo Revival style of the New Deal-funded buildings on the UNM campus, reflecting the region's Native American pueblos and Spanish influences. Explores the Zimmerman architecture in detail with sections on the Building Plan and Exterior, Woodwork, Tinwork, furnishings, the Kenneth Miller Adams Murals (which feature controversial portrayals of Native and Hispanic figures), Landscape, and Significance.
