Goddard Hall, a three-story masonry and stucco structure on the New Mexico State University campus in Las Cruces, was designed by architect Otto H. Thorman and completed in 1913. Built in the California Mission Revival style, the building features a prominent bell tower that anchors its entrance, a hipped French tile roof with rafter extensions, and arched windows on the upper floors formed by pilasters and accompanied by relief panels. Originally rectangular in plan and serving as classroom space, the building was expanded with a large addition on its east side in 1936, though its original west entrance and both ends remain unaltered. Goddard Hall stands as one of two Mission Revival buildings on campus and one of the original structures erected as part of the university's foundational 1906 campus plan, maintaining its educational function since construction.
