The Future Of Gallivan Center – 20 Year Plaza Plan

In this project we are working with Gallivan Utah Center Owners Association (GUCOA), Downtown Community, Salt Lake City and a variety of stakeholders to plan an inclusive vision for the future of downtown’s signature public space.

Gallivan Center serves as the hub for downtown Salt Lake City, with an amphitheater, public plaza, banquet/meeting center, ice rink, and multiple art installations. As downtown sees more and more residential development, Gallivan Center and its Plaza needs a fresh plan so it can best serve this ever-evolving community in an equitable, environmentally sustainable and fiscally conscious manner.

Together with GSBS Architects, Civitas, and Kimley Horn, Phil Myrick is reimagining the space and accomplishing the following goals: boosting the plaza’s daily usage and welcoming appeal, reshaping the plaza to cater to the expanding downtown populace, and augmenting revenue to support ongoing upkeep and future design upgrades.

Our team is fueled by the excitement of possibilities and the promise of transforming the Gallivan Center into a beacon of urban renewal and communal engagement. We envision a downtown plaza that doesn’t just keep up with the times but leads the way, shaping the future of Salt Lake City’s downtown life.
