SALT LAKE CITY — Business students at Utah State University now have a new space on campus for classroom learning and private study.
University leaders Wednesday officially opened the Jon M. Huntsman Hall, an addition to the existing George S. Eccles Business Building. The project adds 21 classrooms, 21 study rooms, a common area and other facilities to accommodate growing student enrollment at the college.
"It's a student-focused building. There are very few faculty offices here," said Dave Patel, associate dean of student and external affairs for the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business.
The original business building, now 46 years old, was built for about 1,000 students, but the college now enrolls more than three times that capacity, Patel said.
