Utah lawmakers approved the new, $85 million Interdisciplinary Science Center during the 2020 Legislative Session. This project will provide new educational and research opportunities for the Department of Physics & Astronomy and the Department of Atmospheric Sciences.
Together, the two departments teach more than 5,600 students and house 46 faculty members. New construction-a 40,700 square-foot renovation and 100,000 square-foot addition-is expected to result in a 56 percent increase in capacity for experimental and computer labs. These new spaces will allow the departments to address critical bottlenecks in science and technology degree programs.
