Medical Plaza Towers and Townhomes – Abatement and Demolition Project

Project Overview

Sad but true, the University of Utah Medical Plaza Towers that have been standing tall since 1971 are coming down for good. The Medical Towers and adjoining townhouses are long past their use-by date and the university has struggled to maintain these outdated facilities in recent years. The U Facilities Project, Design & Construction project management team is launching the abatement and demolition project of the aged buildings.
