The original building has a rectangular shape.""Goddard Hall is one of two buildings constructed in the California Mission Revival Style and one of four buildings on the New Mexico State University campus included in this nomination. Goddard Hall is significant because it is one of the original campus buildings built on the "Horseshoe" as part of Trost and Trost's campus plan from 1906. Although a "Spanish Renaissance" style was adopted by the Regent's, Trost and Trost used more of an "eclectic Mission Style" under their plan. In keeping with this style, Thorman used a more traditional California Mission Style when he designed Goddard Hall, including a bell tower. Since its construction in 1913, Goddard Hall has provided classroom space for NMSU students and faculty."
