The Santa Fe University of Art and Design grew directly from New Mexico’s oldest institution of higher education, St. Michael’s College, which was founded in 1859 and granted a charter in 1874. Saint Michael's College changed its name to the College of Santa Fe in 1966. On August 30, 2010, the name of the college was changed to Santa Fe University of Art and Design. This small set of photos were taken in 2005, at which time the campus was still called the College of Santa Fe.
