Sounds like the U has a good use planned for the building.  Nice to see that it will be preserved and used.

That's where I attended school for a short time, brings back memories.

My dad....

I am rather surprised not to see an announcement on the U's website, I was hoping for more images of what it would look like.

Yup, it remains THE University of Utah.  My alma mater and beloved university.

Not only that but also this.

I remember that announcement with wry fondness. In the SL Tribune, where the comment section burns with vitriol and derision towards the church, they were all scratching their heads, trying to figure out what the church was REALLY up to.

Of course, us rabid BYU partisans were just upset that the money wasn't going to a new practice facility for the basketball team at BYU, obviously a much worthier recipient.
