Add the University of New Mexico to the list of recent ground breaking events at the City Center in Rio Rancho. This is exciting news for residents who have children in Rio Rancho schools ready to explore higher education and don’t want the hassle of commuting to the larger UNM main campus. The adult community of Sandoval County and parts of Albuquerque will benefit in helping with those seeking career changes or people who want additional continuing education. This is an outstanding opportunity for Rio Rancho and its future!
