SLCC Campus Construction Update

The 2023-24 academic year is around the corner, and along with it comes all the excitement and anticipation about a new beginning. The construction world has many similarities to the higher education world such as time and patience and we have witnessed many of those constructions progress first-hand throughout the campuses. Here is a run-down of some projects Facility Services has been working on.

Juniper Building at the new Herriman Campus

Salt Lake Community College Herriman Campus is anticipated to be finalized and ready to host an open house on Friday, August 4, from 3:30-8:00 p.m. All are invited to attend and get familiar with the brand-new campus.

Technical Arts Building (TAB)

It has been over three years since a blaze burned the Applied Technology Building (ATB). However, dues to the extended winter we experienced earlier this year, the construction has been set back significantly schedule to open in Summer 2024.

Elevator

Repairs of the west AAB elevator and BB elevator have been completed and are fully operational.

Tennis/Pickleball Courts

Current construction for the tennis and pickleball courts has started on the northwest side of the Taylorsville campus. The construction utilizes a significant amount of parking lot H2 to support the project. The anticipated completion construction date is on September 1, 2023

To stay current on all construction happening throughout all SLCC campuses, it is advised to carefully read maintenance updates and construction notifications Facility Services provides via email. Stay vigilant of any construction vehicles and signage to find alternative routes from one building to another and avoid injuries.

Recognizing SLCC's 2025 Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Andrew Vogt, PhD Associate Professor, Engineering

The Distinguished Faculty Lecturer is a recognition of quality work by one of Salt Lake Community College’s full-time faculty and a charge to develop that work over an academic year into a public presentation. A committee chosen by the Associate Provost for Learning Advancement selects the faculty lecturer each year. The lecture takes place in the spring. Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Andrew Vogt, PhD Associate Professor, Engineering Dr. Andrew Vogt’s teaching philosophy is guided by two principles, curiosity and efficiency. “Curiosity leads us to study a topic and allows us to really understand the ins and outs of research, while efficiency is all about sustainability,” he says. Andrew describes curiosity as a pure, open-minded impulse to explore, such as the ease with which children learn new concepts with virtually no instruction. Efficiency adds maturity to that childlike impulse, creating structures and pathways for accomplishment. Andrew’s work has alwa...
