Amid the breathtaking expanse of Monument Valley, a place of deep cultural and spiritual significance, construction is underway for Utah State University’s Monument Valley Education and Community Center. This project is more than just a building—it’s a tribute to the rich traditions of the Diné (Navajo) people and the profound connection between land, sky, and learning.

Honoring Father Sky – At the heart of the design, a monitor skylight graces the central commons, symbolizing the vast celestial expanse above. Grounded in Mother Earth – A circular in-ground feature, with a symbolic tree and stones, serves as a sacred reflection of the land’s enduring strength and wisdom.

Every element of this center is inspired by the land and the people who have called it home for generations. We are honored to contribute to a space that will foster education, community, and cultural continuity in this truly extraordinary and sacred place.
