Salt Lake City East Bench, Salt Lake City's University of Utah Campus - Impact & Prosperity Epicenter
The Impact & Prosperity Epicenter is a one-of-a-kind multidisciplinary hub for innovation at the University of Utah, developed in cooperation with the Center for Business Health and Prosperity, Sorenson Impact Center, and the David Eccles School of Business.
The building will lay a new foundation for students to innovate, impact, and inspire, by combining experiential learning spaces with much-needed campus housing. As President Randall told the crowd gathered at the groundbreaking event, this new building — and the experiences it will create for students — represent the very soul of the university.
The new facility will house the Sorenson Impact Center and the Business Health and Prosperity Center building on the commitment of the David Eccles School of Business to provide experiential learning to its students and to impact the global science enterprise community. The Impact & Prosperity Epicenter will be a new multidisciplinary hub for social impact, community engagement, and enterprise, empowering social entrepreneurs and organizations.
The building will provide housing for an international population of students participating in the center’s programs with up to 775 beds in individual room and apartment configurations. Residents will range from undergraduate and graduate students to leaders of NGOs who will come to the building for training. Living and learning will unite to form an organic social network that opens new ways of communicating and sharing developed around an assembly of spaces, nonhierarchical by design, to nurture a culture of local and global impact. There will be 90+ parking stalls to the north of the building and the project will achieve LEED Silver or above.
