Built in the footprint of its predecessor, Orson Spencer Hall, the Carolyn and Kem Gardner Commons creates spaces for academic exploration and collaboration in the heart of campus. Donor Carolyn Gardner hopes the building inspires students to “be open to ideas and free from prejudice with a desire to continue learning, thinking critically, and writing persuasively throughout their lives.”

Gardner Commons is home to many of our campus partners including the College of Social and Behavioral Science, Office of Global Engagement, Department of Political Science, School for Cultural and Social Transformation, Emma Eccles Jones Welcome Center, and Office of Admissions, and the National Center for Veterans Studies. The building features more than 40 classrooms, two auditoriums, and hundreds of student study spaces. Gardner Commons is the first building on campus to use Ground Source Wells as its heating and cooling energy source. Ground Source Wells provide 96% of the heating loads and 60% of the cooling loads for the building — generating $70,000 in annual savings and making the building carbon neutral ready. As Kem Gardner aptly recognized in the building’s dedication, the space may be called Gardner Commons, but “it’s not common at all.”

The new Hinckley Institute of Politics provides space for the Hinckley Institute to better serve students through our internships, classes, and forums. Some highlights of our new space include: The Lyn Cushman Hinckley Terrace: The terrace serves as an excellent outdoor venue and a beautiful space for students to study, socialize, and relax during the warmer months with amazing views. The R.J. Snow Student Lounge: Throughout the rich history of the Hinckley Institute of Politics, there has never been a place for students to visit or study; the R.J. Snow Student Lounge provides just that space. This inviting lounge welcomes students into the Hinckley Institute whether they are studying for an exam or simply passing time before an internship meeting or forum. James Scowcroft Hinckley Boardroom: This meeting space features floor-to-ceiling windows and a custom-made conference table made from the original floor of the Jon M. Huntsman Center. In fact, it is the same floor on which many NCAA basketball games have been played— including the legendary 1979 matchup between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. The James and Lyn Hinckley Caucus Room: This venue includes new audio-visual technology, recording capabilities, and a state-of-the-art retractable wall creating a flexible venue space that can adapt to gatherings of any size up to 150 attendees.

50 51 man of vision and foresight, a 20th century pioneer, a philanthropist, an entrepreneur, and a tireless builder of Aeducation and of the American political system all are apt descriptions of Robert H. Hinckley, a Utah native and tire- less public servant. Robert H. Hinckley began his political career as a state legislator from Sanpete County and a mayor of Mount Pleasant. Hinckley then rose to serve as the Utah director for the New Deal program under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1927, he moved to Ogden, Utah where became a successful business- man and founded a Dodge car dealership. Hinckley went on to serve in various capacities in Wash- ington, DC, from 1938 to 1946 and again in 1948. During those years he established and directed the Civilian Pilot Training Program, served as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Air, and directed the Office of Contract Settlement after WWII. In these positions Hinckley proved himself to be, as one of his colleagues stated, “One of the real heroes of the Second World War.” Also in 1946, Hinckley and Edward Noble jointly founded the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), and over the next two decades helped to build the company into the major tele- vision network it is today. Spurred by the adverse political climate, Hinckley recog- nized the need to demonstrate that politics was honorable, HINCKLEY HISTORY decent, and necessary, and to encourage young people to get The Man Who Started it All involved in the political process and become active citizens. After viewing programs at Harvard, Rutgers, and the University June 8, 1891 - April 30, 1988 of Mississippi, Hinckley believed the time was right for an insti- tute of politics at the University of Utah. So in 1965, through a major contribution of his own and a generous bequest from the Noble Foundation, Robert H. Hinckley established the Hinckley Institute of Politics to promote respect for practical politics and to teach the principle of citizen involvement in government. “Every student a politician” was Hinckley’s dream. The Hinckley Institute of Politics strives to fulfill that dream by sponsoring internships, scholarships, forums, mentoring, and a minor in Campaign Management. Today, 54 years later, Hinck- ley’s dream is a reality. More than 8,000 students have partici- pated in programs he made possible through the Hinckley Insti- tute of Politics. Many of these students have gone on to serve as legislators, members of Congress, government staffers, local officials, and judges. All participants have, in some measure, become informed, active citizens. Reflecting on all of his ac- complishments, Robert H. Hinckley said, “The Hinckley Institute is one of the most important things I will have ever done.” The Hinckley Institute of today seeks to expand Hinckley’s mission by incorporating more diverse paths of citizen engagement and global participation.
