 Prior to the construction of Gerald Thomas Hall, the College of Agriculture was housed in thirteen different locations on main campus and was spread out over four farms.
The original plans consisted of a "hollow square" design. Four wings were to be constructed in a square formation creating a court yard in the center. Each wing was to be built one at a time. The rational behind this approach was due to cost. Of the four wings only the north one was ever completed in 1963 at a cost of $2,000,000. In 1968, an addition was added on to the west end of the building and was renovated in 2005 to accommodate a kitchen facility for the Hotel Restaurant and Tourism department. At the east end of the building, the snack bar will be renovated and enlarged over the next few years by Aramark, a food service company that provides dining services to the University.
Gerald Thomas Hall was designed by Wolgamood and Millington Architects. The hall was named for Gerald Thomas, former NMSU President from 1970 through 1984.
