The Linguistics Department is located on the fifth floor of the Humanities Building in the center of the UNM campus; faculty offices, as well as a graduate student computer lab, are located on the first floor of Humanities.

The research environment is further enriched each year by a colloquium series sponsored by the Linguistics department featuring prominent scholars from around the world and informal brown bag lunch talks at which faculty and graduate students report on their research. The two sponsoring departments also typically have several visiting scholars each year who enliven the scholarly interchange.
