NATIONAL NEWS:· The President's home nears completion 'Institutional residence' to be site of multi-purpose events A new residence for the president of Southern Utah University is expected to be completed in plenty of time for occupancy by the university's new president. "We are a bit ahead of our schedule with the construction," Tom Pugh, president of Quantum Construction Company, general contractor for the project, said. "We've had great building weather, and it looks like we will be finished well within our deadline." The building is being funded with donated funds and should be completed this summer. A number of site work and interior finishing details will need to be completed later and in time for a new president to move in. Current SUU President Gerald R. Sherratt, slated to retire in a little over a year, will not move into the new residence. Design of the building meets guidelines ol the State Board of Regents, including five bedrooms, a three-car garage, and space for food preparation and entertainment. The Board of Trustees of the university has overseen planning and I construction. Many of the building's specifications and features have also been mandated by the state fire marshal. "This is not a typical house," Michael D. Richards, vice president for university affairs and executive secretary to the board of trustees, explained. "Facilities for banquets, meetings, and entertainment of 100 or more people are not typical of a home, even a large, custom home. The entire building has a built-in fire sprinkling system, and multiple exits have been added to meet building and fire codes for a structure of this type. And because it's a building with a public role, the home was designed to meet applicable · regulations of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act" Located at 302 S. 1100 West, the residence will include 6,476 square feet of finished space, about the same as in the present home. Cost of construction will be about $600,000. ·No state tax dollars or student fees have been used for the project.
