University of Utah OKs housing space for budding entrepreneurs

Students interested in starting a business could live, work and perfect their ideas in one place at a building center planned for the University of Utah.

The school’s board of trustees approved the design and program for the Lassonde Living Learning Center Tuesday, which is slated to house about 400 students when it opens in Fall 2016.

The new project will be similar to the Marriott Honors Residential Scholars Community that opened its doors last year, but would instead offer workshops, materials, computers and business lunch space as well as spots for competitions and events. Salt Lake Tribune
