Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) has just broken ground on its Westpointe Career and Technical Education Center near the Salt Lake City International Airport. The Utah Legislature during its 2016 session approved the $42.9 mil needed to begin construction on the new facility, which is expected to open in 2018.
SLCC’s new center will bring together technical education in multiple trades integral to the long-term economic vitality of the Salt Lake Valley. The 121k sf building will provide space for collaboration with industry partners in multiple fields.
The center is intended to support current and future training needs in a flexible, high quality space that will benefit the College and surrounding community for decades. It will establish a high standard of quality and functionality for future development of other facilities and resources vital to Utah’s economic future.

Home to more than 61,000 students each year, the College is Utah’s leading provider of workforce development programs.
