  • The University of Utah Campus Master Plan
    THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 3. Discovery CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Introduction During the Discovery and Analysis phase of this pro- cess the University’s current physical campus structure, buildings, infrastructure systems, transportation and transit use, housing needs and academic space assess- ment were examined. It was the goal of this phase of the work to gain as much understanding regarding the campus’ existing conditions and operations as possible in order to glean the major planning issues that needed to be addressed in a comprehensive campus master plan. The documentation of the analysis phase of discovery is presented in one of three sections of this overall document. The analysis that can simply be reported and those recommendations that can be outlined in a summary fashion for further implementation strategies that will be discussed later in the book. The analysis is presented in this chapter. When the analysis and information gathering defines a very specific problem or issue that has been addressed by the Plan, this document presents that analysis and observational material in the “Plan Elements” or “Transformative Projects” chapters. This chapter orga- nization allows these issues and recommendation to be more closely tied. This decision also serves to minimize redundant information, which in a campus planning project of this size and complexity, would only serve to frustrate the reader. 3 – 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN The University of Utah 2008 (view east) 3 – 3 CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Campus Setting Wasatch Mountain Range Regional Context The product of 20 million years of The 1500-acre University of Utah campus is dramatical- The eastern and northern portions of the City are locat- geologic faulting, volcanic activity, and ly located at the foothills of a mountain valley with the ed on a series of terraces, or former beaches, which are glaciation, the Wasatch Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north.

  • Rio Mesa Center an Outdoor Lab on the Colorado Plateau
    IMPACTTHE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH DEVELOPMENT NEWSLETTER WINTER 2015-16 Rio Mesa Center An Outdoor Lab on the Colorado Plateau Imagine an ancient floodplain with a wild river, surrounded by towering cliffs and red-rock canyons… A place to learn about the ecological, cultural, and geological wonders of southern Utah… A place served by ecologically-sensitive facilities for research, education, and other academic pursuits… This is the vision for Rio Mesa Center. Looking east from the Rio Mesa campground Photo by Philipe Cohen The University of Utah received an early Christmas present in mid-December when it took ownership of the Rio Mesa Center, located in the red-rock country of southeastern Utah. The 400-acre property is a gift to the U from Texas busi- nessman and philanthropist David Bonderman, who bought the property in 2008. David serves on the boards of several national environmental organizations and was committed to protecting the site from development. He found an enthu- siastic partner to join him in that effort in the University of Utah, which had been managing the site since 2006. Now, with the transfer of ownership to the U completed, David’s initial intention to protect the land is assured. Written into the site’s master plan is a pledge to preserve the integrity and open “wildness” of the site while promoting restoration and exploration of the natural world. Rio Mesa Center is located about 40 miles northeast of Moab along a three-mile stretch of the Dolores River. Archaeolog- ical findings indicate that the area has been occupied, at least intermittently, for the last 4,000 to 5,000 years.
