OGDEN, Utah, Dec. 6, 2016: The R&O Construction-built Utah State University (USU) Brigham City Regional Campus won Utah Construction and Design Magazine’s top prize for higher education buildings at a ceremony held earlier today at the Little America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City.

The coveted award was presented to attendees from R&O and project partner Jacoby Architects.

“When we began working on this project, we immediately understood how important it would be to the people of northern Utah,” R&O President and CEO Slade Opheikens said. “We knew we had to deliver something that would stand as a true community center for that area. Our partnership with USU, the state of Utah and of course Jacoby Architects, made working on it a true pleasure.”

R&O finalized completion of the $12.9 million 50,000 square-foot campus in early 2016.

The design provided by Jacoby Architects included:

• Five medium classrooms that can hold 18 students
• 11 smaller classrooms
• Two teaching studios
• A full-service computer lab
• A multipurpose room that has banquet seating for 250
• An auditorium for 130
• A testing center

USU-Brigham City offers all the coursework necessary to complete four associate degrees, 25 bachelor’s degrees, 13 master’s degrees and one doctoral degree.
