University of Utah expanding on-campus student housing

Six years ago, the U. was struggling to find students to fill its dorms. With more out-of-state students attending the state's flagship university, and the recession convincing a lot of students to try student housing instead of renting off campus, the U. is in building mode. They have currently broken ground on a new 310-bed honors housing complex that will open in the fall of 2012, and the long-range development plan has us building another two phases on to that.
