The University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College broke ground in July of 2021 on a $57 million shared facility in Herriman. The 90,000-sf structure will accommodate associate and bachelor’s degree programs in high-demand fields such as computer science, engineering, business administration, criminal justice, nursing, social work, and teaching. The structure will also incorporate student services centers for both institutions including admissions, financial aid, advising, tutoring, and transfer support. Big-D Construction is the general contractor for the facility, which is slated for completion in 2023.
The project represents the first phase of construction on the Juniper Canyon Campus. The 90-acre development will foster economic growth in the South Lake County region by providing residents with expanded academic and career opportunities through improved access to education and training.
