The University of Utah has announced plans to relocate the Jon M. Huntsman Center to make way for a new “College Town Magic” on campus. University officials described this relocation as a “major transformation” at the center of campus, with new housing, dining, social spaces, and recreational facilities being added to enhance the college experience. Although the exact location of the new basketball arena has not been determined, athletic director Mark Harlan expressed excitement about the opportunity to upgrade facilities and create a reimagined in-venue experience for fans and athletes.
The Huntsman Center, which has been the home of Utah’s men’s and women’s basketball, gymnastics, and volleyball teams for over 55 years, will continue to host these programs until the new arena is built. This move is part of broader changes on campus, with the university planning to create six districts, including the new College Town Magic area designed to provide a 24/7 campus experience for students. Plans for this district include housing, dining, recreation, and community spaces, as well as improved transportation options to address parking challenges on campus.
