Carlisle Gymnasium stands on the campus of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque as a 1928 indoor arena designed by the firm of Gaastra, Gladding and Johnson in the Pueblo Revival architectural style. The architects employed a distinctive approach to the style, using stepped massing, vigas, and other Pueblo details to cloak the building's underlying rectilinear gymnasium form. Built at a cost of approximately $85,000 and named after Hugh Carlisle, a UNM student who died in World War I, the gymnasium served as home to the New Mexico Lobos basketball team until 1957, when the larger Johnson Gymnasium opened. The building gained international cultural significance on November 4, 1948, when it hosted the world premiere of Arnold Schoenberg's *A Survivor from Warsaw*, a Holocaust memorial cantata. It also housed the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra in its early years. Today the structure serves as the university's Elizabeth Waters Center for Dance and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
