Master plan shows building boom for University of Utah

Although future enrollment at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City is not expected to grow much in the near term, a building boom is on the horizon, with at least 40 new buildings anticipated for the university's main campus over the next 20 years. They will add 3.8 million square feet of new space and require demolition of nearly 400,000 square feet in 16 obsolete buildings. The chief goals of the university's master plan are to make the campus a destination for the larger public and a center of student life, foster an interdisciplinary approach to academics, and leverage the campus's natural setting at the base of the Wasatch foothills while demonstrating environmental stewardship.
