Spring Semester 2019 marked the fifth annual Dean’s Prize competition. The 2019 Dean’s Prize featured two important urban projects in Logan. Project One is located directly across the street from the Logan Transit Center and is being considered for a new public library, and Project Two is the redesign of the 6th East corridor between 5th and 10th North. The Library Site includes a public park with a direct connection to the 6th East corridor. The corridor project focuses on improved pedestrian and bicycle access and traffic calming in support of student housing and access adjacent to the university.

The Dean’s Prize provides a real-world design competition experience for LAEP students and allows them to receive feedback from high profile jurors, and a well-deserved acknowledgment of their outstanding work. A total of 11 student teams of 4 students each competed. College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences Dean Ken White offered $2000 in prize money that was split between the first and second place teams for each of the two projects. The jury consisted of Logan City Council Members Amy Anderson and Thomas Jensen, Associate Dean of the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences, Brian Warnick, Logan City PlannersRuss Holley and Aaron Smith, Dayton Crites, Cache CountyTrails Coordinator, and Thomas Graham, Architect for USUFacilities Planning, Design and Construction.
