This project included a phased approach as the laundry facility was relocated. Randall Vickers, PE was the Civil Principal in Charge for Missionary Training Center (MTC) expansion in Provo, Utah. Work included master planning of vehicle and pedestrian access and utility extensions to new and existing facilities while leaving the majority of campus operational during new construction.  Design included:

  • Extending new utility tunnels and relocating utilities for the tunnels
  • Revisions and extension of fire lanes
  • Mini gathering plazas in various locations
  • New main building plazas, drainage systems
  • Extending all existing utilities for new buildings and an underground parking system under the new expansion

Work included coordination efforts with Brigham Young University (BYU) and Provo City Officials. New access connections to the site (during and after construction), tunnel crossings of the public street, and a new bus drop off location on the public street.  The work also included removal of existing utility systems and phasing the removal to maintain service to surrounding buildings on both the Brigham Young University and Missionary Training Center campus. The project was completed in two years and will train up to 3,700 missionaries at a time. MTC
