The University of Utah Campus Map
The University of Utah is nestled in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain Range, and is just up the street from Salt Lake City's burgeoning downtown scene. Campus itself covers more than 1,500 acres and is home to 17 colleges, a medical complex and a research park. We invite you to take a closer look at the U with this tour.
