Scholes Hall, the historic administration building of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, was designed by Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem and completed in 1934–36 with Public Works Administration funding. Built in the Pueblo Revival style, it was the first of numerous campus buildings Meem would design for the university, establishing his influential role in cementing Pueblo Revival as the institution's architectural identity. Regarded as one of Meem's most notable designs, the building is listed on both the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places. It bears the name of France Vinton Scholes, a scholar and historian of New Spain whose work focused on Spanish colonial history in Yucatan and the American Southwest.
