In June of 2018, Brigham Young University announced that the institution would demolish the 1939 Tudor style Amanda Knight Hall, the first women’s dorm building ever constructed by the University. After hearing this news, Preservation Utah partnered with Provo’s Historic Commission, the Utah Cultural Alliance, and with other community groups to save the building. After months of advocacy, BYU put Amanda Knight Hall on the market to see if it would sell. Thankfully, the building quickly sold to developers who now plan to restore it and return it to serve as student housing.
