This project consists of a new 170,000 gsf (16,000 gsm) Science Museum at the University of Utah, housing gallery space, classrooms, research laboratories, and a separate parking structure for 200 cars. Clad in a copper facade covering approximately 42,000sf (3,900sm) of the building's exterior, the structure is intended to serve as a visual extension of its surrounding desert context. Concrete for the project will use recycled fly ash, and other materials will be drawn obtained from local sources. The project is intended to achieve LEED certification.
