Silver City, NM – A public forum is scheduled for Wednesday, August 13 at 5:30 p.m. for community members to give input regarding scheduled Western New Mexico University (WNMU) campus lighting updates.

One of the university master facilities plans and sustainability goals is to explore a campus wide and complete LED lighting upgrade on the exterior of all campus buildings and parking lots. This includes replacing existing outdated, problematic and inefficient light fixtures throughout the campus exterior in efforts to positively enhance a sense of wellbeing, safety, clarity, and improve energy efficiency that will dramatically lower the university's operating cost.

WNMU is inviting members of the community to share ideas and concepts that will help maximize the goal of enabling the university to be a more night sky friendly campus to its neighbors and community.

The meeting will take place in the Global Resource Center auditorium. For more information, please contact 575.538.6336 or news@wnmu.edu.

Western New Mexico University has served the people of the state of New Mexico and its surrounding areas as a comprehensive, regional, rural, public coeducational university since 1893 and serves a student body diverse in age, culture, language and ethnic background.
