How to find us on the UNM Campus


Below is a map to help you find Northrop Hall, and the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of New Mexico.

All parking on the UNM campus is by permit only except for the UNM Visitor Parking is located immediately east of Popejoy Hall (SE corner of the map). Fees vary between $ .50 for under 1/2 hour or less and $6.00 for 3 or more hours. There are a very limited number of parking meters (with a 30 minute to 4-hour limit depending on the meter) on Redondo Road just south of Northrop Hall, and on Central Avenue (1-hour limit) adjacent to the campus. Both the city and campus police regularly ticket parking violators. Several commercial paid parking lots (generally costing somewhat less than the UNM Visitor lot) are available just off campus on Yale Blvd just south of campus and adjacent to University Blvd just west of campus, and parking on most side-streets in the area between Central and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd west of campus is free. For the most up to date information on parking on the UNM campus plus information about shuttle bus service for parking and special events, please consult the Parking and Transportation Services Web Page.

The main department office is located in Room 142 on the ground floor of Northrop Hall. The Institute of Meteoritics office is located on the third floor in Room 308. Regular office hours are from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, closed during the lunch hour between 12:00 and 1:00 PM.
