The Lake Mountain School District Board of Education approved the purchase of a 100-acre site in Eagle Mountain on April 30. The new location will serve as a shared education campus featuring Mountainland Technical College (MTECH) and Utah Valley University (UVU).
This development aims to bring in-person college courses, technical training, and a new high school directly into Eagle Mountain city limits.
The shared campus will be situated north of Mid Valley Road and west of Eagle Mountain Blvd. The project is designed to align education with regional workforce needs while reducing barriers between technical training, high school, and four-year degrees.
Planned features for the site include accelerated learning options for high school students to participate in college and technical coursework. The campus will also offer workforce-focused programs tied to high-demand industries in Utah, along with expanded access to continuing education and certifications for adult learners.
The partnership intends to place a future Lake Mountain School District high school, MTECH, and UVU on the same 100-acre property rather than building separate facilities across the region. This approach creates a connected pathway for students to transition from high school coursework into certifications or degrees without changing locations.
LMSD Board President Julie King stated that this 100-acre campus represents a bold, forward-thinking investment in the future of the community.
