MOUNTAIN WEST PLANNING AND DESIGN ACADEMY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH

The Mountain West Planning and Design Academy advances knowledge and professional practice broadly in planning and design, and allied disciplines as they collectively relate to the sustainability of the built and natural environments, and the interactions between them. The department of Continuing Education and the College of Architecture + Planning at The University of Utah have collaborated to launch the first five classes of the Academy in spring 2010.
