Kennecott is consolidating all of its offices in a facility in Daybreak that is LEED-certified, constructed with high-performance energy and design. These office suites use plenty of natural light. (Francisco Kjolseth/The Salt Lake Tribune)

In all, about 570 people from Rio Tinto, Kennecott Utah Copper and Kennecott Land will move to the new facility in the Daybreak master-planned community at the foot of the Oquirrh Mountains.
