Utah Tech University is constructing the $70.5 million General Classroom Building in St. George to provide next-generation learning environments for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Designed by Method Studio, the 120,091-sf facility will accommodate programs in psychology, applied sociology, criminal justice, English, philosophy, history, political science, and communication and media studies. This vibrant academic hub will offer 53 instructional venues including lecture halls, classrooms, and labs, as well as 26 student collaboration spaces. Envisioned as a resource for the entire campus community, the project will also house conference rooms, study areas, and 125 faculty and academic support offices.

Delivered by Okland Construction, the sustainable development will leverage sophisticated infrastructure to meet the state’s High Performance Building Standard. Occupant wellbeing will be enhanced by abundant natural light and low-VOC materials and finishes. Ground was broken in August of 2023 and occupancy is expected in fall of 2025.
