Demolition Marks Start of $110M ‘The Exchange’ in Salt Lake

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

Construction crews in Utah are working on a $110 million project that will be among downtown Salt Lake City’s most architecturally significant buildings. Totaling 2.3 acres, The Exchange will feature a mix of housing, retail, coworking and incubator space.

“The need for housing that’s affordable to middle- and lowincome people has never been higher,” said Developer Ivan Carroll of Giv Development Group. “The Exchange seeks to provide both market-rate and

affordable, high quality downtown living to help alleviate some of those needs.”

Plans call for more than 400 apartments. According to a May 2018 Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute report, since 2011 the state of Utah has had a shortfall in housing units that’s been persistent and will likely continue. The study also showed that apartment vacancy in Salt Lake County has dropped from 6.1 percent in 2005 to 2.6 percent in 2017. The need for new housing, particularly in the downtown area near transit, work opportunities, shopping and recreational activities, has been prevalent for

many years.

The vision was to create space where individuals from all incomes and backgrounds can coexist.

“We believe a community can benefit from multiple viewpoints and is stronger, and more fun to live in, when people from different walks of life can call it home. If

that community can provide housing, recreation and workspaces for people in different stages of life, even better.”

Carroll said the goal was to create something that fits into the surrounding location, while also adding something new.

“This includes artwork and design elements that will be

viewed from the outside, as well as common amenities residents will be able to enjoy. A lot of time was spent ensuring that the pedestrian interaction with the buildings would create a place where people want to spend time.

“Due to the location of these buildings and their proximity to see EXCAVATION page 6

Officials break ground on the new Computer & Automotive Engineering Building.

Weber State University broke ground for the new Computer & Automotive Engineering Building at WSU Davis on May 22.

GSBS Architects designed the building and R&O Construction has been awarded the contract. Construction is expected to be complete in summer 2020. The $20 million project will include a new primary entrance to the campus from State Route 193, which will relieve pressure on the existing entry and allow faster access.

“With this groundbreaking we begin creating a new, much-needed home for automotive and computing at WSU Davis,” said David Ferro, EAST dean. “We have an innovative, exciting space planned that will increase our capacity to educate students and support Utah’s workforce.”

Weber State University broke ground for the new Computer & Automotive Engineering Building at WSU Davis on May 22.

The 50,000 sq.-ft. building will help the College of Engineering, Applied Science & Technology (EAST) accommodate growth.

For the past five years, Weber State has led state institutions in awarding engineering and computer science degrees. In addition to providing a location for computer science and software engineering courses, the building will be the new home of the automotive technology program.

UDOT ‘Field Trip’ Shows Students Transportation Careers With teams of secondary school students flocking to Park City, Utah, to compete in the final round of the 2019 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials National Bridge Challenge competition — an event that is part of the organization’s annual spring meeting — the Utah Department of Transportation engaged in a “future workforce recruiting” effort.

On May 20, the day before the bridge competition finals, the Utah DOT organized a tour of its Traffic Operations Center in Salt Lake City, busing the students, their parents, and teachers to the facility for a day-long tour, complete with a buffet lunch.

The tour included a detailed overview of the TOC’s traffic camera control room and its weather center, where up to 12 meteorologists work to analyze statewide weather patterns that could impact roadway conditions.

The students also visited with one of Utah DOT’s incident

management teams parked in front of the building and attended presentations on structural engineering, traffic signal design and development, drone operation, and autonomous vehicles.

“You can’t stop learning in transportation,” emphasized Blaine Leonard, Utah DOT’s technology and innovation engineer, during his presentation to the students.

Leonard — a key architect of the agency’s “first-in-thenation” connected and autonomous vehicle or CAV system that uses Designated Short Range Communications or DSRC radios to help Utah Transit Authority buses “talk” to traffic signals so they arrive at their stops on time — stressed that “everything I work with now in transportation was invented after I graduated from college. And the day may come when we potentially won’t need to drive. And you — and your children — will be at the forefront of that.”

Matt Dunn, assistant district engineer of maintenance with

the Mississippi Department of Transportation — who served as the announcer for the event — noted that all of the students participating in the competition represented “the future” of the transportation industry.

“We need young minds like theirs to think outside the box and help strengthen our transportation system,” he explained. “We need young people to be interested in transportation and pursue these jobs so they can provide the future workforce for the state DOTs. And its events like these are what attracts middle and high school students to the field of transportation engineering.”

“The students of the future presenting here are unbelievable,” added Carlos Braceras, Utah DOT’s executive director and AASHTO’s 2018-2019 president, during the event.

“We hope to help them design their future through such competitions, for we never have enough engineers in transportation.” 

significant structures, such as the City-County Building and the main branch of the library, it was important to make architectural statements that complemented the central part of the city.”

A public plaza will separate two wings of the nine-story building that will occupy the northwest corner of the block. The plaza will include landscaping, art and amenities. The five-story building will occupy the mid-block portion just east of Blair Street. Both buildings will be built to energy-efficient standards.

The project was designed by KTGY Architecture + Planning and will be mixed-income, with 196 affordable units and 216 market-rate apartments. The ninestory building will consist of seven floors of residential space above a two-story parking podium and ground-floor retail that will front 400 South.

The five-story building will consist of micro residential units above a parking podium and the “The Shop at Salt Lake City,” a 30,000sq. ft. co-working and business accelerator space.

The location is at the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, with various transit options, parks, amenities, services and work opportunities nearby.

“Being located so centrally to so much of the city makes it the perfect location for mid- and highdensity housing,” said Carroll.

“The Exchange will sit on the same block as The Civic Campus, which is one of the centers for business and culture of downtown Salt Lake City. This campus includes many of the city and county offices, the main branch of the public library, the public safety building, The Leonardo Museum and parks, and is a short distance from other theaters, shopping areas, city, county, and federal services, restaurants and more.”

Officials released an RFP for the land in January 2017. Domain and Giv have been working with architects, engineers, contractors, lenders, tax-credit organizations, and the city since that time.

“The first building was able to finalize all the legal and permitting processes and begin construction at the end of February 2019,” said

Carroll, adding that work on the second building should follow this summer.

“The project faced unique challenges in ensuring it could provide affordable apartments as part of the project, and making sure the financing and costs were in line to do so. The site’s location also required working closely with multiple city departments to ensure all concerns regarding design and aesthetics, access, safety and compatibility with surrounding properties were properly addressed. A lot of the time spent over the two years of preparation involved overcoming these challenges.”

down to facilitate the construction of Building A. Demo took under one month. One interesting note for Building A is that the public safety building to the south has an underground parking garage under the building and under the road that separates the building, so we had to demo the entire building from one side. There is also an entrance to that parking garage on our site that will stay intact. We have to excavate all around it for footings, and our building will actually go over the top of this entrance.”

The other property being torn down is a masonry office building.

It came down with a track hoe and will serve as the location for Building B. Crews have completed excavation, and have placed the raft slab.

“We are installing waterproofing now and rebar for the footings on top of that. This work cannot take place in the rain, so we have to wait for windows of no rain and dry everything out and get as much work down as we can before it rains again.”

“All excavation on the tight sight was done with a track hoe and two loaders. On days we could haul, we would run 20 trucks,” said Hollon. “A total of 40,000 cubic yards of material was exported from the site. As much as 25,000 cubic yards of concrete will be placed.”

Concrete pumps and cranes are among the equipment being used during construction. Main materials will include concrete, steel, ACM and GFRC. The project is a joint venture between local developers, Giv Development Group and Domain Companies, a New York Citybased firm. According to Carroll, teaming with the Domain Companies to build the project is a smart move.

“We’re excited to partner together and learn from each other,” said Carroll. It’s been rewarding to see how important projects that would be difficult for either to accomplish individually can come to fruition by working together. The combined knowledge and expertise have allowed The Exchange to overcome hurdles that might have made the project otherwise impossible.”  CEG

Airport Improvement Program...

USDOT Grants $20M to Utah Airports for Infrastructure

FULL PAGE 10.125”x10.625”

By Katherine Devlin CEG EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

On June 5 the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced more than $840 million in grants awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to improve infrastructure at airports throughout the country. This includes nearly $20 million to five Utah airports.

The Airport Improvement Program (AIP) issues grants to public agencies and private owners for infrastructure improvement projects, according to the USDOT press release.

“This significant investment in airport improvements will fund construction and rehabilitation projects that will help maintain high levels of safety in U.S. aviation,” said U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao.

Grants have been issued for projects that include runway rehabilitation, runway con-

struction, maintaining taxiways, aprons and terminals. According the USDOT, “the construction and equipment supported by this funding increase the airports’ safety, emergency response capabilities, and capacity, and could support further economic growth and development within each airport’s region.”

The five Utah airport projects that have received AIP grants are: • Salt Lake City International Airport: $14 million for apron construction and taxiway improvements.

• St. George Regional Airport: $1.86 million for new snow-removal equipment and building construction.

• Wendover Airport: $1.3 million for apron construction.

• Roosevelt Airport: $100,000 to install a runway vertical/visual guidance system.

• Vernal Regional Airport: $80,000 to acquire land for approaches to the airport.  CEG
