“Our vision for the new building is to reflect the role of the College of Humanities as the core of student life on campus.”
Robert Newman
Dean, College of Humanities
Associate Vice President of Interdisciplinary Studies
Named for The Right Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish in honor of her passion for the Humanities at the University of Utah, the new Humanities Building will be infused with her spirit of kindness, intellectual curiosity, and service.
"Though leaves are many, the root is one," writes the poet W.B. Yeats in “The Coming of Wisdom with Time.” In important ways, the new Carolyn Tanner Irish Humanities Building will be the essential root for the students that enter its doors. Here they will be nourished by perspectives on truth, ethics, and beauty so they may prosper in their seasons of life.
The desire to confer this benefit to future generations of University of Utah students has guided every aspect of this building’s design. The collaborative spirit and good will shown by faculty, friends, and alumni of the College of Humanities will resonate continually in the learning that occurs within the building and the knowledge that emanates from it.
