University of Utah Student Life Center is Moving Forward

Wednesday, April 24, 2013

A ceremonial ground breaking ceremony was held for the new  George S. Eccles Student Life Center at the University of Utah.  Set to be completed in December 2014, the 190,000 sf center will be a state-of-the-art recreation center funded by student fees and a $3 million grant from the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation.

The new center will have three pools, five multipurpose courts, fitness/cardio studios and climbing walls.  The new center is also designed to offer students another venue for studying between classes or grabbing a snack at the café.

The project was designed by Hastings+Chivetta in association with MHTN Architects.
