Places
“Enhancing student access and program opportunity”
A university's "place" is multi-fold in meaning. It can signify the place where the university stands in relation to its peers. It can also signify the indefinable visual and emotional feeling that becomes experience. Utah State University has the enviable good fortune to be located in one of the most beautiful places in the United States. The broad campus plan, implemented in 1912, set the stage for the beauty and accessibility that is the campus today. There have been many changes since that time and, yet, Utah State University retains the timeless commitment to quality, beauty and functionality. As the campus grows, both in Logan and through the regional campuses, and changes to adapt to a growing student population and a changing world, Utah State University will remain that place where memories are made and futures are explored.
The projects identified in Honoring Tradition Securing Our Future, The Campaign for Utah State University hold fast to those commitments. Each identified project moves Utah State University toward greater student access and enhanced program opportunity.
Manon Caine Russell Kathyrn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall
A world-class venue envisioned as the heart of the Caine School of the Arts, the Manon Caine Russell Kathyrn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall has, with the generosity of two sisters, become an exquisite reality. The hall was deemed by the architect as a "jewel box" designed as a sanctuary from outside noise. From the 18-inch-thick concrete walls down to the spring-isolated, silent mechanical systems, the Performance Hall is an acoustical marvel. Dedicated in January of 2006, the hall features acoustical ledges, moving banners and panels that make it as tunable as any fine musical instrument. It allows audiences to experience the nuances of a specific performance, and it has become a place wherein artists the world over can share their craft as it should be shared—intimately and in its purest form. North End Zone Project
The North End Zone Project will become the new hub of Aggie Athletics. Spaces will be available for the All-Sports Hall of Fame and reception areas where parents, donors and athletes can showcase the success of our teams. In addition, the facility will provide new training room that will accommodate over 300 student athletes, areas for the treatment and rehabilitation of injured athletes, meeting and equipment rooms, and the Athlete Academic Center. A separate area will be created to provide home and visiting locker rooms, coaches' locker rooms, and referee locker rooms Emma Eccles Jones Early Childhood Research CenterThe Early Childhood Research Center will provide young children with access to equal educational opportunities and also create an infrastructure for collaboration. This center will house the Emma Eccles Jones Early Childhood Center, the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management, the Early Intervention Research Institute, the Academic Interventions Clinic and the Child Language Disorders Clinic. Closely aligned with this center will also be the Dolores Dore` Eccles Center for Early Care and Education, a child care and educational research collaboration that will focus on the health and educational growth of children. |
Utah State University Uintah Basin
A new era for higher education in the Uintah Basin has been initiated with an immensely generous gift of land from Robert H. Williams and his family to Utah State University. This property, in the heart of downtown Vernal, Utah, will become a new campus serving the entire Uintah Basin. This campus will be a flagship for the regional campus system, bringing the educational strength of Utah State University to all of the state's residents. Edith Bowen Laboratory School
We may well call them the three grand dames of education: Emma Eccles Jones, Edith Bowen and Anne Carroll Moore. This threesome met in New York at the Teacher's College-Columbia University in 1930 and came together in their early years when they were seeking a means of better education and acceptance for children. Anne Carroll Moore made a name for herself at the New York City Public Library, and Edith and Emma came back to Logan where they started the Edith Bowen Laboratory School and a tradition of excellence that is still moving education forward today. |
David G. Sant Engineering Innovation Building
This new facility, replacing the Peterson Engineering building, will consist of three floors totaling 34,000 square feet of space. The building will provide the facilities to help develop and demonstrate the hands-on creative and innovative skills of our faculty and students through both undergraduate and graduate research. This modern laboratory facility will be used to explore and develop technology ideas and prototypes that can be used to stimulate the technology transfer process from the university to the marketplace. Engineering Teaching Building
The engineering teaching building is designed to meet the teaching and learning needs of our students. It is a 108,000-square-foot building that includes 14 classrooms (all equipped with the latest teaching technologies), 32 faculty offices, six undergraduate teaching laboratories, student project room, the David and Diann Sant student learning and advising center, a student computer lab with more than 175 computers and George S. and Dolores Dore` Eccles atrium display area for student engineering projects. |
