Above the Neeleman Hangar are four floors of themed residential space. Lassonde Studios is in the center of campus and is advancing the University of Utah as a top school for entrepreneurship.
The building and diverse engagement opportunities are managed by the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute, an interdisciplinary division of the David Eccles School of Business, in partnership with Housing & Residential Education.
