The Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center, located in Taylorsville, Utah, primarily serves the Central and West communities of Salt Lake County. This
multi-use performing arts regional cultural center fulfills a critical need identified in the County’s Cultural Facilities Master Plan. The project was completed in March 2021 at the cost of $39,047,981.

This project represents a new era for Cache County Public Works. The division and the County desired a new, more dignified and functionally efficient facility that represented more of a civic stature for Public Works as a critical resource in supporting the County’s residents. The administration building is the public face of the complex and seeks to respect the existing natural context while also representing the machine-like qualities of the work performed on the campus: large vehicle maintenance; snow plow repair; heavy-duty vehicle fueling island; large vehicle storage; sand, salt and brine storage.

This home is sited at the edge of downtown with spectacular panoramic views overlooking Salt Lake City. The passive design takes full advantage of the solar path and captures dramatic views, including the Wasatch mountain range to the east and valley and urban views to the south and west, with city lights creating a sparkling horizontal field below at night.

Located along the Wasatch Fault in a quiet suburban neighborhood in Salt Lake City, this home explores the natural and human-made relationship. The home is on the east bench of the Wasatch mountain range near the University of Utah, and two prominent natural features immediately inspired the team as design opportunities.
