SPINOR is a new spectro-polarimeter that will serve as a facility instrument for the Dunn Solar Telescope at the National Solar Observatory. This instrument is capable of achromatic operation over a very broad range of wavelengths, from $\sim$400 up to 1600 nm, allowing for the simultaneous observation of several visible and infrared spectral regions with full Stokes polarimetry. Another key feature of the design is its flexibility to observe virtually any combination of spectral lines, limited only by practical considerations (e.g., the number of detectors available, space on the optical bench, etc). SPINOR is scheduled for commissioning by the end of 2005. In this paper we report on the current status of the project and present actual observations of active regions in the Ca II infrared triplet and the He I multiplet at 1083 nm.
