Subject: Clyde W. Tombaugh Science Education Center transferred from NMSU to New Mexico Museum of Space History in a collaborative partnership to benefit New Mexico’s Youth Education



Dear Friends,


I am excited to share the formal announcement that The New Mexico Museum of Space History (NMMSH), a division of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs (NMDCA),and New Mexico State University – Alamogordo (NMSU) have completed the ownership transfer of the Clyde W. Tombaugh Science Education Center from the university to the museum.


The transfer of ownership between the two organizations took place on January 24, 2022, following review and approval by NM Higher Education Department (NMHED) and final approval by the University’s Board of Regents and the NMDCA.


NMDCA and NMHED share a renewed working relationship that promises a long-term commitment to their mutual goals of serving and educating New Mexico’s youth.



The Tombaugh Center, previously known as the Tombaugh Building and IMAX theater, began as a partnership in the early 1980s, when the property belonged to NMMSH and the building belonged to the university. At the time, NMSU used the classrooms and office space, while the museum operated the theater and planetarium inside.



One of the most exciting aspects of the change is for the museum’s Education Department, which now has the use of a complete laboratory classroom for in-house education programs and summer camps. Three full classrooms are now in use in the building, along with additional office space and storage.
