Funding History

Funding Issues

OWATC Business Depot Ogden Bay 2

OWATC is requesting $2,150,000 to begin infrastructure improvements on Bay 2 of its Business Depot Ogden facility. This building was constructed in the 1940s. Bay 1 has been renovated, but Bay 2 has significant life safety and other deficiencies that prevent the space from being utilized. OWATC is also working with DFCM to access capital improvement funds to address some of the needs. Funding of this request will accelerate the campus' ability to deliver instructional programs in the facility.

Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College (OWATC) began as a tech college in 1971 under the name of Skills Center North. By 1975, the Utah Board of Regents incorporated Skills Center North as a part of Weber State College. In 1982, the institution was moved again and became Ogden-Weber Area Vocational Center. In the early 1990s, the name was changed to Ogden-Weber Applied Technology Center. And finally, the Utah State Legislature, in special session, passed House Bill 1003 on June 20, 2001 creating the statewide Utah College of Applied Technology (UCAT) and its regional campuses, including OWATC.
