ST. GEORGE — Out with the old and in with the new, Utah Tech University is tearing down Nisson Towers, the school's oldest student housing building, to make room for the brand new Campus View Suites III.
According to the university's strategic plan, student enrollment is predicted to increase from 12,556 students this year to 16,000 students by 2025.
With this drastic increase in enrollment, Utah Tech began implementing the third phase of its student housing project. The first two phases consisted of the completion of Campus View Suites I and II located near the corner of 100 South and 1000 East in downtown St. George.
The Campus View Suites III building has a total budget of about $65 million, with around $55 million allocated to the construction. It is funded through a bond that will be paid back using the rent from its future residents.
