Campus
Westminster's Campus is known for its natural beauty and elegant architecture. Located on 27 acres (0.11 km2; 0.04 sq mi) in the middle of a long-established community, the campus has been designed to blend in with the neighborhood.
The college is located in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City. As the campus is within walking distance from Sugar House Park, which is one of the largest in Salt Lake City, outdoor activities are very common place.
There is only one meal location on campus, but within the Sugar House neighborhood there are many places conveniently located close to campus. Westminster students can use their student IDs to get discounts at many of these places.
On campus are two gyms each equipped with a basketball court, weight room, and studio.
The larger of the buildings, the Eccles Health Wellness and Athletics Center (HWAC), also has an indoor pool, three story rock climbing wall, and racket ball court.
As Westminster College is located on little acreage in the heart of Salt Lake City, administration has had to be careful and smart about the growing student population. The sixteenth president of Westminster College, Dr. Michael S. Bassis, saw a need for growing into and connecting with the Sugar House community. During his presidency he acquired Garfield School to the east, with plans on converting it into a center for the arts.
He also struck a deal to have Westmisnter on the Draw built on 1300 East, directly across the street from Sugar House Park. This space has many uses. At seven floors, the bottom level will be used as academic and event space. The second floor (street level) will be used as business space. While the remaining floors will be used as housing for upper-classmen and graduate students.
