Against a national trend of declining college enrollment, the U continues to break records with five consecutive years of growth. The university recently launched the “Mountains We Climb” campaign (mountains.utah.edu) to showcase its story to a national audience, generating over 10 million new impressions and digital engagement rates triple the industry average in just its first four months.
The Kem and Carolyn Gardner Mental Health Crisis Care Center has opened in South Salt Lake, marking a major step in expanding mental health services in Utah. As the first building on the future Huntsman Mental Health Institute Campus of Hope, the 78,000-square-foot facility offers crisis care, outpatient treatment, and community support services including legal services and a dental clinic. Funded by private donations, the University of Utah, state, and county contributions, the center aims to provide comprehensive, accessible care for adults in need.
After more than 50 years, a prominent part of the University of Utah’s eastern skyline is changing. The Medical Plaza, a 123,600-square-foot housing complex built in 1971, is being demolished after closing in 2023 due to maintenance issues. While the site’s long-term future is still being determined, university leadership is carefully considering its redevelopment. The demolition is set for completion this summer.
