With the school year underway, the new Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine is coming to life as the hub for medical education at the University of Utah.

The building was designed in step with a reimagined medical curriculum — providing flexible, collaborative environments that support team-based learning, early hands-on clinical experiences, stronger connections between academic and clinical training, and interdisciplinary engagement. As students and faculty settle in, this innovative approach to training future physicians has an equally forward-looking place to call home.

And as medical education and healthcare needs change, the building is designed to evolve with them.

As Principal Emeritus, she will remain connected to VCBO and continue sharing her expertise while dedicating more of her time to advancing the profession at the national level.

We are deeply grateful for Jeanne’s extraordinary contributions and excited to see the impact she will continue to make.

The new Bountiful Elementary School is carrying a longstanding educational legacy into a new generation.

Designed to support the evolving needs of students and educators, the two-story school brings together 32 classrooms, a multipurpose room, cafeteria, and outdoor learning and play areas within a modern, efficient campus. A ground-source heat exchange system provides energy-efficient heating and cooling, while rooftop solar panels help offset the building’s electrical use.

Replacing the oldest school in Davis School District required a carefully phased approach. The new school was constructed on the existing playfield, keeping the original building operational throughout construction. Once students and staff transitioned into their new school, the former building was removed to create a new playground and field. Separate parent and bus drop-off areas further improve safety and circulation across the campus.

Today, Bountiful Elementary builds on generations of community connection while providing an adaptable, efficient learning environment for those to come.

The Thomas & Patricia Willis Veterinary Medical Education Building is officially open at Utah State University, marking a major milestone for the university’s newly established College of Veterinary Medicine. Created in response to a critical shortage of veterinarians across Utah and the region, the new college will expand opportunities for veterinary education and help prepare the workforce needed to serve communities throughout the Intermountain West.

Designed around the needs of future veterinarians, the 113,000-square-foot building brings clinical training, teaching, research, and student life together in a dynamic new home. With spaces ranging from an operating room and gross anatomy lab to hands-on skills labs, mock exam rooms, research spaces, a central student forum, and outdoor animal enrichment areas, the building responds to the complex demands of veterinary medical education and a modern animal hospital.

It has been a privilege to partner with Utah State University, USU College of Veterinary Medicine, and Jacobsen Construction to bring this significant project to life. Congratulations to the many people whose vision, expertise, and dedication helped create a new home for the region’s future veterinarians.

Yesterday, we were honored to celebrate the opening of the new Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine — a landmark new home for medical education at the University of Utah.

For the first time, the university's medical school community will come together under one roof in a building designed around how students learn, collaborate, and prepare to care for patients. Rising as a new focal point and gateway for the renowned health sciences campus, the building brings medical education into closer connection with the research and clinical care that distinguish University of Utah Health. As Utah and the Mountain West continue to grow, this new home will support the school in preparing future generations of physicians to serve communities across the region and beyond.

Years of visioning, collaboration, generous support, and thoughtful work have shaped a building worthy of the institution it serves. We are grateful to the University of Utah for the trust and opportunity to help create this important new chapter for its medical school, and to our design and construction partners at Yazdani Studio of CannonDesign, Jacobsen Construction, and the many people whose expertise and dedication brought the vision to life.

Congratulations to the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine and the entire project team on this remarkable milestone.
