We are breaking ground on the Heritage Plaza and Karen H. Huntsman Library Tuesday, February 3, 2009 at 1:00 p.m! Everyone is invited to attend. Layton Construction is the contractor and even before signing the deal with DFCM last week they were fully engaged in the project. They have installed the perimeter fencing and cleared ground. It was sad to see the trees and fountain go. Some of the trees were salvageable and we have put the fountain in storage with hope to find a new home for it on campus as some time in the future.
The architect’s rendering shows an aerial view of the library and plaza from the north.
The library includes a fireplace in the entry; a Borders-like café, a dividable two-hundred seat auditorium, a spiral staircase reaching group study rooms and open study spaces on four floors, and every high tech advantage and device for efficiency and learning. It will be Central Utah’s first LEED certified high performance green building.
The plaza will include the bronze Lorenzo and Erastus Snow sculpture by Brad Taggart in the center and the legacy scholarship wall around the outside. The plaza will be the ultimate gathering place in the fall and spring—think BBQ’s and music on Fridays, concerts and dances in the evenings and a place to hang-out or study during the day.
We are fortunate to have been successful in keeping this project going amid state budget cuts. Kudos to so many people on campus who helped with the planning and design and will remain engaged through its completion.
See you Tuesday.
