University Heights

University Heights, built in 1951, is an example of Mid-century modern design. The architects, Scott and Beecher, were influenced by the International Style of architecture and perhaps by the noted architect of the period, Alvar Aalto. The eight-story brick and reinforced concrete residential tower exemplifies modern design in its asymmetrical massing, windows cut at corners, lack of ornament, and the white portico featuring an abstract sculptural colonnade of bent piers.

Originally built as apartments, the building was converted to condominiums in 1979.

Two levels of parking are located under a living roof, a concept far ahead of its time in the 1950s.

University Heights Condominiums provides a high density of modestly sized units for a diverse community, including faculty and students of the University of Utah.
