LOCATION DETAILS

Salt Lake City, Utah has long been equated to some of the most inspiring examples of cast-in-place concrete and is home to the CFA's leading award winner, SCW Footings & Foundations, as well as one of the newest contractor members, Jeff Dumas Concrete Construction.  In addition, the manufacturing operations for Boman Kemp, Concrete Forms Services and Rockwell can all be found in short drives around the region.

Further intrigue for the region includes the Great Salt Lake.  The Great Salt Lake is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere and the eighth-largest terminal lake in the world. It lies in the northern part of the U.S. state of Utah and has a substantial impact upon the local climate, particularly through lake-effect snow.

Salt Lake City, often shortened to Salt Lake or SLC, is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Utah. It is the county seat of Salt Lake County, the most populous county in the state. The city is the core of the Salt Lake City Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which had a population of 1,257,936 at the 2020 census. Salt Lake City is further situated within a larger metropolis known as the Salt Lake City–Ogden–Provo Combined Statistical Area, a corridor of contiguous urban and suburban development stretched along a 120-mile (190 km) segment of the Wasatch Front, comprising a population of 2,746,164 (as of 2021 estimates),[13] making it the 22nd largest in the nation. With a population of 200,133 in 2020, it is the 117th most populous city in the United States.[14] It is also the central core of the larger of only two major urban areas located within the Great Basin (the other being Reno, Nevada).

Salt Lake City has developed a strong tourist industry based primarily on skiing, outdoor recreation, and religious tourism. It hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics and will host the 2034 Winter Olympics. Owing to its proximity to the Great Salt Lake, the city was originally named Great Salt Lake City. In 1868, the word "Great" was dropped from the city's name.[15] Immigration of international members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), mining booms, and the construction of the first transcontinental railroad brought economic growth, and the city was nicknamed "The Crossroads of the West". It was traversed by the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway, in 1913.

The Natural History Museum of Utah is the state's official museum of natural history. Nestled in the foothills above Salt Lake City, the Museum's home—the Rio Tinto Center—is an architectural wonder that houses 163,000 square feet of breathtaking exhibitions exploring billions of years of natural history. Explore more below to see the many ways you can experience the Museum and all it holds.
