(9,200 NSF)
• Anthropology Museum (5,100 NSF)
• Utah Public Radio (7,050 NSF)

18. FY2019 State Funded Capital Development Project Request
• Although enrollment on the main campus has
increased significantly, CHaSS has not received
significant additional space over the past 15+
years.
• The existing programs are spread across campus
(Old Main, Veterinary Sciences, Eccles
Conference Center, Geology, Multimedia and
Distance Learning Services Building).
THE NEED

19. FY2019 State Funded Capital Development Project Request
• The Department of Languages, Philosophy and
Communication Studies is the fastest growing
department in the college. Demand for languages
across majors is high.
• The Museum of Anthropology has high interest,
evidenced by a 70% increase in students earning
Museum Studies Certificates.
• Utah Public Radio operates in a limited space that
hampers day-to-day production.
