In- F26 · April 29, 2019 · FOCUS: Construction · The Enterprise - Utah's Business Journal HIGH TECH from page F25 The Future: Design-Build More and more, knowledgeable developers and owners are turning to a modern construction solution for effi ciencies and quality known as “design-build.” It’s a process that starts with an updated contract struc- ture which favors the idea that de- sign coordination responsibilities are best managed, for the benefi t of all, by the construction team. This bet- ter allows for the construction budget and schedule to manage the com- plete building process, while experts from both the design and construc- tion worlds are better utilized at the correct time, and coordination issues are addressed when most effi cient for owners. While some contractors may feel like design-build is a forced marriage between the designer and contrac- tor, corporate risk directors believe today’s contractors have little choice but to embrace it. Design-build is here to stay, they say, because own- ers like it. While acknowledging that fact, experts advise owners to look for contractors with high-tech, integrated design experience. “A contractor needs to be a strong leader, and learning that role takes time,” said Kristin Hill, director of educational programs for the Lean Construction Institute. She notes that leading an integrated construction design process demands a culture of commitment and trust that isn’t devel- oped overnight. Additionally, other experts agree that builders should expect their in- house design capabilities to evolve to keep pace with the changing construction environment, and that design-build is an iterative process that will spin unless contractors have the right information that best comes from VDC knowledge and planning.

  • 2016-2017 EDITION Dear Salt Lake Chamber Members
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 EDITION Dear Salt Lake Chamber Members, This year the Salt Lake Chamber is celebrating its 130 year anniversary! As an organization older than the state of Utah, the Salt Lake Chamber has stood as the voice of business since 1887. Since our inception, the Chamber has been a key driver in efforts to grow the economy and enhance the quality of life in all of Utah. We have shown what’s possible when the business community engages, collaborates, and invests in making Utah the best state to live, work, learn, and play. The spirit of collaboration between the business community, the Governor and our Legislature is as strong as ever. By working hand-in-hand, we saw the successful passage of many of our 2017 key priorities, including regulation reform, education funding and efforts to improve Utah’s air quality. The Chamber also partnered with initiatives like Talent Ready Utah and the 25k Jobs Tour in an effort to develop Utah’s future workforce. The Salt Lake Chamber continues to be a gathering place for business leaders and the community at large. Through our programs, and those of our partners, the Chamber has directly engaged more than 400,000 members and business professionals. The Chamber’s 130th Gala Celebration was a huge success with more than 1,500 people in attendance. During the event, past chairs of the Chamber Board of Governors honored Chamber President and CEO Lane Beattie with the 38th Giant in Our City Award. As a member of the Chamber you have an incredible opportunity to get involved, be part of the conversation, and help create the direction of Utah’s future.

    salt lake acting company Study & Play Resource Guide For Students DDeecceemmbbeerr 11--2299 WELCOME TEACHERS! We are excited to welcome you and your students to Piggsylvania for the trial of the century! We are happy that you will be joining us for THE TRUE STORY OF THE 3 LITTLE PIGS and hope this study guide will help prepare your students to engage with live theatre and make connections in their own lives with the ideas presented in the book and play. The book by Jon Scieszka and illustrated by Lane Smith tells the story of the three little pigs from the perspective of Alexander T. Wolf, who is trying to set the story straight on how he came to be known as “big and bad.” In the musical adaptation by Robert Kauzlaric, Paul Gilvary, and William Rush, we see his trial come to life and the audience serves as the jury, deciding at the end of the play if the wolf is innocent or guilty. In this study guide, you will find classroom activities related to the book and play, fun facts about live theatre, and information on the author, playwright, and creative team that is bringing THE TRUE STORY OF THE 3 LITTLE PIGS to life at Salt Lake Acting Company. We’ve also included information on state and national Common Core Standards that can be satisfied by seeing and engaging with this production. We can’t wait to see you and your students!

  • 508 Steep Mountain Drive Draper, UT 84020 November 30, 2018
    508 Steep Mountain Drive Draper, UT 84020 November 30, 2018 Dear Van L. Lawrence Fellowship Board of Directors: It is with great pleasure that I submit my application for the Van L. Lawrence Fellowship, sponsored by The Voice Foundation and the National Association of Teachers of Singing Foundation. I am a member of the Northern Utah Chapter of NATS in the Cal-Western Region. Current application of scientific knowledge in the studio As an assistant professor in the University of Utah Department of Theatre, I teach both classical and music theater vocal techniques to my students. This necessitates ongoing reading, research, and conference attendance in order to keep up with the latest pedagogical tools for these styles so I can prepare my students for the ever-changing demands of the commercial market. I have been engaging in an ongoing collaboration with the National Center for Voice and Speech, having completed Block 1 and served as faculty for Block 3 of its Summer Vocology Institute. This has led to research projects related to music theater singing that I have presented at conferences, including those held by The Voice Foundation, the Pan American Vocology Association, the Voice and Speech Trainers Association, and NATS. These studies have directly influenced my studio teaching in many ways, specifically by demonstrating applicable uses and benefits of spectrographic analysis and semi-occluded vocal tract exercises. I have previously benefited from the support of the NATS Foundation, having received its Voice Pedagogy Award. With that support, I attended the CCM Vocal Pedagogy Institute, which further enhanced my understanding and application of functional, evidence-based voice training for “non-classical” singing.
