The Issue

BYU proposes to remodel current space at the LDS Missionary Training Center (MTC) by tearing down five buildings and erecting one 9-story building adjacent to residential neighborhoods. No growth; no expansion; just redistribution of space and an upgrade in technology. The proposed building will be 160 feet high and will be wider than it is tall. At 160 feet, the proposed building is the same height as (and wider than) the BYU Kimball Tower. We believe that alternatives are available to the developer that would conform to the characteristics of the educational, business and residential neighborhoods of Provo. We support alternatives that maintain the maximum height of the MTC buildings no higher than is currently constructed and petition BYU and Provo City to so act.
