The U completed four new facilities projects during FY 2015, benefitting students, faculty, and staff on campus, and serving health care needs in the broader community.
George S. Eccles Student Life Center
This student-led initiative, a decade in the making, was built mostly with private donations, in partnership with the students. Among its many amenities are three pools, cardio and weight training facilities, a four-story climbing wall, indoor running tracks, and basketball and racquetball courts. Chiefly for students, faculty and staff use is limited to those who purchase a membership.Jon M. Huntsman Center Arena Upgrade and Remodel
