A groundbreaking ceremony Friday signaled the beginning of a unique collaborative housing project involving The University of Utah, the Clark and Christine Ivory Trust and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that will serve students during an unprecedented housing crunch.

The three institutions are working together to build Ivory University House, a four-building, 552-unit apartment community at the corner of Mario Capecchi Drive and South Campus Drive to add housing for U. students. Rent paid will be donated to provide scholarships, housing stipends and internships for U. students.

The first building is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2023 where a church meetinghouse once stood.

This new proposed housing at the University of Utah would do something unique with students’ rent: give it back

“This innovative new model will transform the university’s housing situation and help serve thousands of students,” University of Utah President Taylor Randall said in a news release. “This type of partnership is key to our future growth, allowing us to provide expanded opportunities for Utah students.”
