UNIVERSITY OF UTAH STUDENT LIFE CENTER

UC&D Outstanding Large Higher Education Project - 2015

Owner: DFCM

Architect: MHTN Architects

Engineer: Van Boerum & Frank Associates

Location: Salt Lake City, UT

General Contractor: Okland Construction

Size: 180,000 Sq Ft

Completion Date: December 2014

The new Student Life Center is a 180,000 square foot, state of the art recreation center at the University of Utah campus. The facility supports numerous activities and fitness training programs, housing areas such as a four story climbing wall, 50 meter lap pool, and 300 meter indoor track. This is a LEED certified project with efficient plumbing and mechanical systems. The HVAC systems are designed to support the different needs for particular areas of activity with more than 10 air handling systems serving the facility. The natatorium space is conditioned with 48,000 CFM using custom indoor dehumidification units with energy recovery systems. The building heating and domestic hot water systems are generated using the campus' high pressure and temperature hot water system converting water from over 400 degrees Fahrenheit and 400 psi to a lower temperature and pressure heating system for the building. The plumbing systems support a large number of occupants while maintaining low water consumption fixtures. The site allowed no room for storage and deliveries needed to be carefully coordinated to be as needed and ready to install. The project was completed in just 16 months and opened on schedule.
