USU plans to make museum education more accessible with new facility

The new facility will be adjacent to the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum and will accommodate 40% more collection storage for the museum.

The project is expected to cost $6.3 million, and USU is receiving a $2.8 million private gift that will more than fulfill NEH’s requirement that fundraising match the $750,000 grant. Lee-Koven, who is also executive director and chief curator for the Harrison Museum, and her team are still raising funds for the remainder of the building’s costs.

The museum now takes up 23,000 square feet on four levels, not enough space for USU’s growing art collection and educational initiatives, said Lee-Koven said. The new building will include an open classroom space for USU students and K-12 classes, a library space specific to the Harrison’s collection, and equipment to be able to broadcast classes and other public programs.
