.UtahTechU will break ground this month on a $70 million high-rise for students.

A rendering of a Campus View Suites Phase III, new student dorms on the campus of Utah Tech University. The 500 student beds are slated to be completed by 2025.Rapidly expanding enrollment at Utah Tech University is increasing the need for student housing, but the institution of higher learning is striving to rise to the challenge.

“We are very excited to begin the third phase of Campus View Suites,” Seth Gubler, university director of housing and resident life, said. “With its completion, more students will be able to live on campus and experience the programming, amenities and resources provided by the university.”“With all the new construction taking place every year, the campus more resembles the quality university that it is becoming rather than just a large high school,” the St. George resident said.

“When you look at projections, it’s possible that we will reach that point to where we won’t be able to accommodate all the students who want to come here,” Gubler said. Finally, the university owns 19 apartments it rents to married students or single parents with families. In addition, there are 15 privately owned apartments that specialize in renting to students and are located within a few blocks of campus.

Aside from their proximity to the university, a major benefit of on-campus housing for singles is that the students don’t have to worry about paying for utilities or the internet. Married or single parents are required to pay for electricity, internet and trash removal.
