I went hiking along part of the Bonneville Shoreline trail above the University today and took my camera along. Later, I drove a few minutes away up Emmigration Canyon.
Renovation of the John R. Park Building is now complete.
During nearly 11 months of construction, the aging building received exterior improvements and a much-needed seismic upgrade.
The historic building, located at the top of Presidents' Circle, is 95 years old. It houses the offices of U President Michael Young and other administrators.
The original roof of the Park Building was not secured to the walls and could have caused significant damage to the building in the event of an earthquake. The roof has been nailed down and the building’s internal structure strengthened.
Other renovations to the Park Building include fire protection and sprinkler systems, an improved limestone facade and refurbished windows. The bronze statue of John R. Park was also fully restored. The original limestone exterior, constructed with stone from Sanpete County, has been patched with more durable limestone from Wisconsin. The newly installed copper sheet-metal flashings on the roof direct water away from the building and protect the new facade.
