  • 02/20/15

SLCC Athletics FacilityTAYLORSVILLE, UT — Salt Lake Community College recently played host to hundreds of girls, their families and friends from across Utah as the 2015 Utah 4A/5A Girls Basketball Championship tournament plays out at SLCC’s Taylorsville Redwood Campus.

The basketball tournament took place inside SLCC’s expansive Lifetime Activities Center (LAC) Feb. 16-21. It was the first time many of these young ladies have been on a college campus, let alone experienced SLCC’s expansive flagship campus.

“The Salt Lake Valley and certainly SLCC are very fortunate to have the LAC, an incredible facility for hosting any number of different athletics events,” says Nancy Singer, interim vice president of SLCC Student Services. “It’s a fantastic built-in recruiting tool for SLCC to show off the Taylorsville Redwood Campus and to give these students and their families a glimpse of what it might look like if they someday choose SLCC to start their higher education experience.”

The 179,000-square-foot LAC includes two gymnasiums, racquetball courts, strength and fitness rooms and an indoor track. SLCC Athletics at the LAC includes men’s and women’s basketball (the women’s team is currently ranked 6th in the nation) as well as women’s volleyball.
