In-Person Event: U of U Fieldhouse Construction Tour

Opened 83 years ago in 1939, the Fieldhouse is one of the oldest standing buildings on the UofU campus. It has been home to the basketball team, served as a sports practice facility, and housed an indoor track and gym for students. Most recently, the Fieldhouse held classroom spaces for the School of Dance and the College of Architecture + Planning. Truly an anchor for lower campus, the Fieldhouse roof bears bold lettering reading "UTAH" - a symbol of pride visible from inside the Rice Eccles Stadium. Now, the Fieldhouse is being renovated into a 375-seat theatre to be shared between the Department of Theatre and Pioneer Theatre Company. Let's take a hard-hat behind-the-scenes construction tour of this historic building, hosted by a member of the College of Fine Arts staff. Please note: This is a construction site tour. Please wear closed-toe shoes and casual clothes. Hard hats will be provided. We may be climbing stairs.
