In the News

Designed to inspire both convocation and contemplation, the College of Humanities building at the University of Utah is a luminous, art-filled centerpiece on campus. The building houses six departments and 13 centers and programs, including the Middle East Center and Tanner Humanities Center. A transparent entrance opens into a glass-walled lobby, with even the stair treads made of glass to maximize daylight. The 185-seat auditorium, café, and lounges connect to outdoor areas, reinforcing the building’s role as a vibrant academic hub. The building features energy-efficient lighting, advanced glazing, and locally sourced, recycled materials. Reaveley collaborated closely with university stakeholders and project teams to deliver a space that reflects the humanities’ mission—supporting meaningful dialogue between self and society, now and into the future.
