A growing student population and the expanding reach of University of Utah Health services are extending the university’s impact well beyond its 1,535-acre campus in the Wasatch foothills east of Salt Lake City.
This year the university’s planning, design and construction department will oversee $270.5 million in new projects, up from $222.4 million in 2017, as work begins on major on-campus projects for the College of Health. The university is a hot spot of construction activity in the Beehive State.
