When Eddie Nuñez arrived as the athletic director at the University of New Mexico in 2017, he saw that a training facility project was starting to gain steam.
But he also recognized that the location wasn’t exactly desirable, which was among some facets of the plan that needed tweaking. From 14 years at LSU, Nuñez brought his experience in development, architecture and construction that resulted in over $700 million in projects coming to fruition. He said he wanted to make the training facility project at UNM one of his top priorities.
He said one mission statement stayed with him at the time: If we’re going to do this, let’s do it right.
