The first of about 20 new buildings will open this fall on the University of Utah campus, allowing hundreds of graduate students to move in for the fall semester. The housing project is located near the Fort Douglas area. The land that has been transferred from the fort to the university for housing purposes was most recently used by U.S. Army Reserve units, university officials said. Until the final months of i 2001, the new university apartments and suites will have what many of the students asked for, such as video, voice and data connections that make communication easier, said McCormack, Wayne Olympic coordinator for the university. During the early part of 2002, the students will temporarily relocate, allowing Olympic' athletes and officials to live in an area that will resemble a small city of about at least 4,000 of 9,000 people whom will live there during the 2002 Games. During that time, the housing units will have what many of the athletes will need and want, including a bank, hair salon, post office and stores.
