Carlisle Gymnasium
301 Yale Blvd. NE
Albuquerque, NM 87131
Opened: January 1, 1928
Carlisle Gymnasium is an indoor arena on the campus of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was the home of the New Mexico Lobos basketball team from its opening in 1928 until the completion of the larger Johnson Gymnasium in 1957, and was also the original venue of the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra. The building currently houses the university's Elizabeth Waters Center for Dance.

The building was designed by the firm of Gaastra, Gladding and Johnson in the Pueblo Revival architectural style, which was the de facto official style for all new buildings on campus. In a novel application of the style, the architects used stepped massing, vigas, and other Pueblo details to mask the rectilinear form of the gymnasium. The building was completed at a cost of approximately $85,000 and was named after Hugh Carlisle, a UNM student who died in World War I.

What it was built in 1928, Carlisle Gym seated approximately 1,500. At that time, the University had 862 students. Additions doubled the seating capacity to 3,000. Carlisle Gym served well until 1956 when the student enrollment had increased to 1,598 students.
