“With the explosive growth coming to Utah County over the next three decades, the need for nurses, physician assistants, respiratory therapists, mental health professionals, and other health and wellness workers is significant. This Health and Wellness Village will play an important role in meeting the state’s workforce needs of tomorrow and will align with the university’s model of engaged learning, which continues to set UVU apart.”

- President Astrid S. Tuminez

History of Vineyard Campus

Rising on more than 225 acres west of I-15, Utah Valley University’s (UVU) Vineyard Campus reimagines the historic Geneva Steel site as a place of renewal, innovation, and growth. Purchased by the university in 2011, the land honors Utah’s industrious roots while pointing boldly toward the future.

Designed as UVU’s center for wellness, healthcare, and innovation, the campus will serve as both a learning ground for students and a gathering place for the community. Groundbreaking is anticipated within the next two years, with phased construction extending over the next two decades.

Health And Wellness Village

The UVU Vineyard Campus Master Plan envisions a university innovation district that integrates housing, retail, office, and academic spaces into a walkable, sustainable environment.

At the heart of this campus planning, the UVU Health and Wellness Village will serve as a hub for the eight dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, financial, and occupational.

The Health and Wellness Village will:

Provide new campus health and wellness resources to the community.
Combine traditional medical care with holistic approaches.
Create hands-on learning opportunities for UVU students preparing for careers in healthcare and wellness-focused education.

Academic And Community Integration

Academic spaces will support programs in the College of Health and Public Service and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The campus will also include mixed-use business space, diverse housing options, and large parks, making it a model of sustainable campus design.

Community Benefits

Affordable housing for students and residents.
A walkable design with bike paths and public transit access.
Green spaces, large parks, and gathering areas that encourage connection.

Sustainability And Access

All buildings will follow UVU’s Green Campus commitment, modeled after LEED-certified practices.
Development will emphasize sustainable campus design, with renewable systems and energy efficiency guiding construction.
A FrontRunner station sits directly adjacent to campus, with expanded UTA bus service planned.
Parking will be efficient and shared, serving businesses during the day and residents at night.
Community traffic needs are incorporated into the Vineyard Campus design. With housing, businesses, and classrooms close together, the need for cars will be reduced.

Funding And Oversight

Academic buildings: Funded through the state legislature.
Privately owned buildings: Developed through private investment.
Oversight: The RFP selection process was overseen by a combination of internal and external evaluators who were qualified to review proposals of this size and complexity. It adhered to Utah’s conflict-of-interest and regulatory standards to ensure that the most qualified bidder was selected.
