A planned $15 million studio complex at NMSU’s Arrowhead Park is expected to attract film and television projects that will draw millions of dollars to the area and help creative media students earn valuable experience. The 36,400-square-foot studio complex will be used for film and television productions, and NMSU and DACC creative media students will also have opportunities for paid internships on those productions. The project is funded by NMEDD as part of the statewide Media Arts Collective Initiative to grow the state’s film industry. Once completed, NMSU will lease the site to a company that will be responsible for operations and maintenance and will either film its own productions at the complex or lease out the complex to other production companies. The project is expected to be completed in December 2026.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is expected to attend, along with representatives from the New Mexico Economic Development Department and Film New Mexico, Sen. Jeff Steinborn, Rep. Nathan Small, NMSU President Valerio Ferme, members of the NMSU Board of Regents, Chancellor of NMSU System Community Colleges Mónica Torres, local elected officials, Las Cruces Mayor Eric Enriquez, Doña Ana County Manager Scott Andrews, and NMSU and DACC students and faculty.
