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.

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs. The CPL department at SLCC was created in 2020 and since then the volume of students served has grown as the department continues to expand. To be eligible for CPL, students must be working towards a degree, certificate, or apprenticeship. Director of Credit for Prior Learning at SLCC, Andrea Tipton, mentioned fee...
