Top Attractions in Brigham Young University

Eyring Science Center

The Carl F. Eyring Science Center is one of the science buildings on the Brigham Young University campus in Provo, Utah. It was built in 1950 and named after Carl F. Eyring in 1954. The ESC houses the departments of Physics and Astronomy, Geology, and Food Science and Nutrition. The Department of Chemistry has in the past been located at the ESC but is not currently headquartered there. In 1968 an underground physics research lab was added to the north end of the building. Research on plasma, atomic processes, lasers, high-pressure physics, nan-technology, acoustics, and cold fusion have been conducted here. It is the home of two modern TEMs. The Royden G. Derrick Planetarium is also in the building. This 119-seat facility with a 39-foot acoustically-treated dome was built in 2005 to replace the smaller, outdated Sarah Barrett Summerhays Planetarium. In the summer of 2006 a new dome was installed on the ESC's observatory to better allow for astronomical study on campus. The building also has several acoustics labs including two anechoic chambers and a reverberation chamber for performing acoustics research. The 5th and 6th floors of the ESC constitute the Orson Pratt Observatory. In the early years of the ESC, James A. Jensen's dinosaur displays were often in the lobby. However, since the building of the BYU Earth Science Museum, dinosaur displays are less common. The main lobby of the building is noted for its Foucault pendulum. It also houses a student-run restaurant, the Pendulum Court, during the fall and winter semesters. The ESC was the first building at BYU to have an elevator.

Brigham Young University–Idaho

Brigham Young University–Idaho is a private university located in Rexburg, Idaho. Founded in 1888, the university is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, transitioned from a junior college to a four-year institution in 2001, and was known for the greater part of its history as Ricks College. BYU-Idaho offers programs in liberal arts including the sciences, engineering, agriculture, management, and performing arts. The university is broadly organized into six colleges, and its parent organization, the Church Educational System, sponsors sister schools in Utah and Hawaii. The universitys focus is on undergraduate education, hosting 18 associate and over 70 bachelors degree programs; and it operates using a three-semester system also known as "tracks". Students at BYU-Idaho are required to follow an honor code, which mandates behavior in line with LDS teachings . Approximately 99 percent of the universitys students are members of the LDS Church, and a significant percentage of the student body take an 18- or 24-month hiatus from their studies to serve as missionaries. A BYU-Idaho education is generally less expensive than similar private universities, due largely to a significant funding by LDS Church tithing funds, helping keep tuition rates low. Since becoming a four-year institution, BYU-Idaho no longer hosts intercollegiate athletic teams but instead organizes intramural programs, as part of the larger student activity program.

Howard W. Hunter Law Library

The Howard W. Hunter Law Library is the library of the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University , Provo, Utah. It was named for Howard W. Hunter, the 14th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who had been a lawyer in the Los Angeles area before he was called as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve. The Hunter Law Library has only had its current name since 1995. However the library dates back 1975. It was renamed at the time of its expansion in 1995, which was also only a short time after Hunter's death. Hunter had been an early advocate of the founding of the BYU law school as a member of the BYU Board of Trustees and had also been closely connected with recruiting Rex E. Lee to be the first dean. The library was expanded largely through a donation from Jon M. Huntsman, Sr. who had been Hunter's stake president and a good friend and wanted to honor him by having the library named for him. The Hunter Law Library has over 450,000 volume and volume equivalents and over 4,000 active serial subscriptions. The current director is Kory D. Staheli, who has held this position since 2005 when he replaced Constance Lundburg. The library is located in the same building as the Clark Law School, but it has clear internal entrances which are the security points beyond which books that have not been checked out may not go. Although geared towards the needs of law school students any BYU student may check out materials from the law library or access LexisNexis through the libraries system.

Melvin J. Ballard Center for Economic Self-Reliance

The Marriott School of Management is a business school located in Provo, Utah at Brigham Young University , a private university in the United States of America owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . Going by several different names since its inception in 1891, the business school at BYU has been known as the Marriott School of Management since 1988, when Marriott International founders J. Willard and Alice Marriott made a $15 million donation to the school. The Marriott School is housed on-campus in the N. Eldon Tanner Building and offers five undergraduate and six graduate degrees. Ethical decision-making is strongly emphasized at the school: undergraduate students are required to complete 14 hours of religion coursework for graduation, all Marriott School students must take at least one course in management ethics, and both students and faculty must commit to abide by the university's honor code. The school also exhibits a unique culture because the majority of its student and faculty bodies are members of the LDS Church. Many Marriott School students obtain a level of foreign language proficiency while serving as LDS missionaries. (Sixty-five percent of the student body is bilingual.) Consequently, the Marriott School sponsors high-proficiency business language courses in 11 languages. The school claims over 53,000 alumni and is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Where is this?

GuRoute likes to place attractions inside other attractions. So, maybe it's in a city, or maybe it's inside a particular park in that city. Maybe your attraction is a huge park that spans half the county, or multiple counties.

Determining where this attraction is gives it context - if it's in a park, you'll be able to see it alongside all the other attractions in that park. And that helps define the park.

GuRoute will automatically calculate a parent region for this attraction. You can change it if there is something more appropriate.
