VCBO Architecture

Thank you, Governor Spencer Cox. We couldn’t agree more with your appreciation for this incredible team working at the Utah State Capitol. This work is a source of immense pride for us. For over 20 years, VCBO has been privileged to play a role in the preservation, restoration, and development of Capitol Hill, ensuring it remains a civic landmark and a functional seat of government for generations to come. We’re especially proud of the progress made on the North Capitol Building and look forward to seeing this monumental addition continue to take shape. Thank you to all of our fellow design and construction professionals who are helping make this vision a reality! #CivicArchitecture #CivicDesign #UtahStateCapitol #UtahArchitecture

Last month marked the first anniversary of Primary Children’s Hospital, Larry H. and Gail Miller Family Campus. For just over a year, this state-of-the-art center has been providing world-class pediatric care to the growing communities of Utah and southern Salt Lake counties — empowered by thoughtful, patient-centered design. In crafting this monumental addition to the renowned care network, every design decision centered on the child. The space is infused with a sense of wonder and discovery, with positive distractions woven into every detail to ease anxiety and spark joy. We are incredibly proud to have been part of this award-winning project — one that reflects our dedication to healthcare design that makes a lasting impact on our communities. Here’s to the first of many anniversaries to come. #HealthcareDesign #PrimaryChildrens #Anniversary #AwardWinningDesign #UtahArchitecture #VCBOArchitects

Last week, we joined Jacobsen Construction to celebrate the topping-off of the James LeVoy Sorenson Center for Medical Innovation at the University of Utah. Coinciding with the university's 175th anniversary, this milestone marks a significant moment for the institution and its continued leadership in medical education and research. Once completed, this forward-thinking facility will support the university's prestigious medical device development programs, providing a centralized ecosystem for multi-disciplinary leaders to conceptualize and prototype transformative healthcare technology. We are proud to contribute to the ongoing legacy of innovation and excellence on the University of Utah's Health Sciences Campus, and we are excited to see this project continue to take shape. #HigherEducationDesign #HealthScience #MedicalInnovation #UtahArchitecture #VCBOArchitects

We recently joined Intermountain Health and Bonneville Builders to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Intermountain St. George Child Development Center — an exciting investment in the health and well-being of the region's caregivers and their families. This stand-alone facility will replace the existing center, expanding and modernizing services to support 150 children daily, from infancy through preschool. Crafted to meet the unique needs of Intermountain's caregivers — many of whom have nontraditional work hours — the center will feature age-specific classrooms, interactive play areas, specialized resources, multi-purpose spaces, and staff support areas. At the heart of the design, the facility will foster a safe and welcoming environment that nurtures early childhood development. This milestone is a testament to the dedication of our St. George and healthcare teams. We look forward to welcoming Intermountain families later this year when the center opens its doors. #StGeorge #ChildcareDesign #IntermountainHealth #UtahArchitecture #VCBOArchitects

The new Marshall N. White Community Center is taking shape, with construction progressing beautifully toward its anticipated opening later this year. At its core, this project is about impactful, community-driven design. Originally built in 1968, it has long served a historically Black and Latino neighborhood, becoming a cherished gathering place ingrained in public memory. More than just a building, this project carries forward the legacy of its namesake—Marshall White, a veteran, community mentor, civil rights leader, and police officer killed in the line of duty. Designed in collaboration with Ogden City and guided by community input, the new facility will be twice the size of the original, expanding access to opportunities for recreation, learning, and community programs. As construction enters the final stretch, we’re excited to see this vital resource begin its next chapter, ensuring it remains a vital hub for connection and opportunity. 🔗 Learn more about the center, its history, and the transformation underway: https://ow.ly/vMZZ50UYRwB #CommunityImpact #CommunityDesign #CommunityRecreation #RecreationDesign #OgdenUtah #UtahArchitecture #VCBOArchitects

Locker rooms play a critical role in sports and recreation facilities. More than just a place to store belongings, they must balance privacy, security, and accessibility — all while creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for every user. In response to community input, the Provo Recreation Center became one of the first recreation centers to incorporate a large-scale family changing area. This design replaces traditional men’s and women’s locker rooms with an open storage space, which helps reduce theft, alongside private changing rooms for individuals and families that enhance privacy. Now a widely adopted model in recreation design, this inclusive approach better serves families, people with disabilities, gender-diverse people, and those who prefer more privacy. In team sports facilities, locker rooms serve as both a respite for athletes and a statement of team identity. Thoughtful designs prioritize safety, ventilation, durability, and efficient traffic flow, while bold branding and design elements inspire team camaraderie and pride. As a recruiting tool, every locker design choice helps reinforce a team’s culture and aspirations. No matter the facility, the right locker room design fosters comfort, security, and a sense of belonging.
