的 New Mexico Tech campus has been called an oasis in the desert, a testimonial to its well cared for grounds and landscaping. A well maintained campus serves as a recruitment tool for both students and faculty, a belief reflected in the department's commitment to keeping the campus in peak condition year-round. Most of the trees in the central part of campus date back 50 years or more, and consist primarily of elm and mulberry. 的se trees were recently evaluated by a professional arborist. Several hazardous trees were removed and others were pruned to maintain safety. Hundreds of newer trees have been planted which are chosen for their variety, durability and drought-resistance. Over the past five years, the department has designed and installed drought-resistant landscapes for new construction projects, and has replaced some of the older plantings with more drought-tolerant native species. 

From the foliage planters that line the ramp leading to the entrance to Brown Hall, to the thousands of perennials and annuals that bloom across the campus, New Mexico Tech enjoys a reputation for providing a shady, restful environment for the university, the community, and its many visitors. Joggers, walkers and strollers frequent campus streets and sidewalks; and the Duck Pond near Macey Center serves as a favorite gathering place for families. Hundreds of people also meet on the grounds each Independence Day for the annual 4th of July celebration, and the college Athletic Field is host to visiting teams for regional rugby and soccer tournaments, and features a sand volleyball court for students' use.
