The Estufa is a historic university building on the University of New Mexico campus in Albuquerque, constructed in 1907–08 under the direction of university president William G. Tight. Built by a local social fraternity and modeled after a kiva—a ceremonial meeting place of the Pueblo people—the structure exemplifies the Pueblo Revival style that Tight championed on campus. It features thick adobe walls and a single, windowless interior room with perimeter seating, and has served since 1915 as the primary meeting location for the university's Pi Kappa Alpha chapter. One of the first buildings in New Mexico to employ the Pueblo Revival style, the Estufa is listed on both the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places.
