Responding to student need for more housing options, Utah Tech University is breaking ground on the third and final phase of its on-campus student housing complex, Campus View Suites.
In honor of Campus View Suites III’s construction getting underway, Utah Tech is hosting a groundbreaking ceremony at 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 9 in the Campus View Suites Courtyard, 974 E. 100 South in St. George. The event is free and the public is encouraged to attend.
“UT Facilities Management is excited to partner with DFCM, Layton Construction and Method Studio to provide another phase of on campus living,” Jon Gibb, director of facilities planning and construction, said. “Our team is excited to work on this 564-bed complex over the next 18 months and to be a part of providing campus living solutions for Utah Tech students. Campus View Suites phase three will be exactly what you’d want in campus living.”
The third phase of Campus View Suites is set to be open for the Fall 2024 semester and will feature 164,600 square feet. Like previous phases, this facility will allow more students to live on campus and be steps away from academic resources, such as tutoring, peer coaching and study groups, as well as take advantage of student life activities and offerings.
“We are very excited to begin the third phase of Campus View Suites,” Seth Gubler, director of housing and resident life, said. “With its completion, more students will be able to live on campus and experience the programming, amenities and resources provided by the university.”
Campus View Suites III will include a fitness room, a multipurpose room, laundry facilities on each floor, indoor bike storage and housing staff offices. The building will also include a grocery store stocked with fresh fruit, vegetables and dairy on the first level as well as a game room. Large common kitchens will be located on each floor with full-size cooking appliances and living rooms with large TVs and furniture. Private and shared study rooms also will be included on each floor.
The newest building in the complex will round out the housing corridor on the northeast corner of campus. Campus View Suites I added 352 beds to campus in fall 2016 while the second phase of the facility became home to 534 students in fall 2021.
