History
A Bupati's Council was organized by Brigham Young to establish a university in the Salt Lake Valley. The university was founded on 28 February 1850, as Deseret University by the Temporary State Assembly of Deseret, and Orson Spencer was appointed as the university's first chancellor. Early classes are held in private homes or wherever space can be found. The university closed in 1853 due to lack of funds and lack of feeder schools.
After years of intermittent classes at the Salt Lake City Council House, the university began to be re-established in 1867 under the direction of David O. Calder, followed by John R. Park in 1869. The university moved from the house council to the Union Academy building in the year 1876 ââand to Union Square in 1884. In 1892, the name of the school was changed to the University of Utah, and John R. Park began arranging to acquire land belonging to the US Army of Fort Douglas on the eastern bench of the Salt Lake Valley, where the university moved permanently on year 1900. Additional Fort Douglas land has been given to the university for many years, and the fort was officially closed on October 26, 1991. After his death in 1900, John R Park left all his wealth to the university.
The University grew rapidly in the early 20th century but was involved in the controversy of academic freedom in 1915 when Joseph T. Kingsbury recommended that five faculty members be dismissed after the graduation speaker made a critical speech against Utah Governor William Spry. A third of the teachers resigned in protest at the dismissal. Some feel that dismissal is the result of LDS Church influence at university, while others feel that they reflect a more general pattern of depressing religious and political expressions that might be considered offensive. The controversy was largely resolved when Kingsbury resigned in 1916, but the university operations were again disrupted by World War I, and then The Great Depression and World War II. Student enrollment dropped to a low of 3,418 during the final year of World War II, but A. Ray Olpin made substantial additions to the campus after the war, and registration reached 12,000 by the time he retired in 1964. Growth continues in the next few decades as the university evolves into a research center for areas such as computer science and medicine.
During the 2002 Summer Olympics, the university hosted the Olympic Village, a housing complex for Olympic and Paralympic athletes, as well as opening and closing ceremonies. Prior to the event, the university received a facelift that included a massive renovation to Rice-Eccles Stadium, a light rail line to downtown Salt Lake City, a new student center known as the Heritage Center, a variety of new student housing, and what is now a hotel campus and 180 conference rooms.
The University of Utah Asia campus opened as an international branch campus at Incheon Global Campus in Songdo, Incheon, South Korea in 2014. Three other European and American universities also participated. The Asian campus is funded by the South Korean government.

Students and staff can use their university ID to take the UTA, TRAX, and FrontRunner buses.
The University recently unveiled a new plan for a more hospitable campus for bicyclers called "Master Plan Bicycles" aimed at turning the campus into a safer and more accessible place for bicyclers and for promoting bike riders. This plan emphasizes both the campus path and the facilities on the road connecting the core campus area with the surrounding environment. Master Plan Bicycles provide guidance for facilities and programs within the jurisdiction of the University. It also provides recommendations for the University to work with external entities such as UDOT, UTA, and Salt Lake City to improve cycling conditions in locations important to the campus environment, but which are not under the direct control of the University.
Sustainability
The university is ranked 3rd by the EPA for annual green power use among universities, with 31% of its power coming from wind and solar sources.

Sustainability and transportation are also a large part of university campus master plan. The Sustainable Endowments Institute gives this university "B" in the 2011 High School Sustainability Report Card, with A for climate change and energy, food and recycling, student involvement, and transportation.
The expanded recycling program was launched on July 1, 2007. Since its launch, the program has continued to grow and improve procedures to better accommodate the needs of the growing campus. Currently there are programs in place for paper, cardboard, aluminum, batteries, glass, printer cartridges, wooden pallets and plastics # 1 and # 2.
Renewable energy
On July 7, 2011 the university announced its plan to become the first location in the United States to install solar ivy. Unlike roof panels, ivy solar panels are small and shaped like vines that can be mounted in an attractive arrangement that will scale the walls, like ivy plants that grow on top of the building's surface. These panels are designed by Minded New York's Sustainable Interactive Technology.
A renewable energy partnership entered by the university, Rocky Mountain Power and 3Degrees on September 28, 2011 enables the purchase of renewable wind power which in the first year will generate 98.23 million kilowatt-hours of wind energy, which is 36% of the total power usage university, with plans for two additional renewable energy commitments. The purchase of the university's first year renewable energy through Blue Sky and 3Degrees has combined environmental benefits by taking more than 13,200 cars off the road for a year or planting 1.7 million trees. University support for renewable energy is possible through a student-funded cost sustainability program established in 2005.
The University announced the addition of a new solar system on April 16, 2012 on the roof of the Utah Natural History Museum. This is the second system installed on the university campus, the other being in the HPER East building. The Utah Museum of Natural History system is a 330-kilowatt system, while the HPER East system is a 263 kilowatt system. The combined array consists of 2,470 Sharp photovoltaic panels covering 40,000 square feet of roof space and together they will annually produce 802,240 kilowatt hours
