Directions
**Design Contest Location Change!**
As we did in 2011, we will be moving the contest to the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. The facilities are beautiful and all of the contest events can be accommodated. Those of you who have attended in the past will recognize that the site is not far from the NMSU campus and is also convenient to Aguirre Springs Natural Area.
There is a new event room with much better lighting and a bit more room that will be used for the bench-scale demonstrations, and the Rio Hondo Room and the Theatre will be used for team presentations.
You will not need to pay the entry fee to the museum. Enter through the main entrance, if the staff at the front desk asks; let them know you are here for the conference. There should be signs in the lobby area to the Design Contest registration table.
Should you have an emergency while traveling call (575) 649-3557.
We look forward to seeing all of you soon! Have a SAFE trip.
