The University of Utah produces nearly half the state’s STEM graduates every year. That fact helped the U receive a green light from the Utah Legislature for the renovation and expansion of the 100-year-old Stewart Building. The project will provide state-of-the-art research and classroom space for the STEM workforce of the future. College of Science Dean Peter Trapa also shares that the Applied Science Building has received generous support from Gary and Ann Crocker, who have stepped forward as lead donors on what is truly a public-private partnership. Thanks for technical assistance to Brooke Adams and Dave White. Music by Taylor Hartley.
