| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
The creation of the Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center was authorized in 1967. A $100,000 Federal Vocational Grant was matched by Duchesne County to establish a center for adult and high school vocational and technical education at a time when the Central Utah Project was just getting started and the Bluebell oil field was coming into production. George Thatcher was the first director of the Center as well as the part-time electronic instructor. Duchesne and Uintah School Districts as well as the Ute Tribe funded the original building, located on the Union High School campus. The school districts operated the Center during these early years.
In 1972, the Utah Legislature put all three existing Area Vocational Centers (Sevier, Uintah Basin, and Bridgerland) directly under the State Board for Vocational Education. A local governing board was appointed consisting of members from Duchesne, Uintah, and Daggett County School Boards. During that same year plans were developed for a new, larger building and campus so that the Center could serve both adult and high school students. Property was jointly donated by Uintah and Duchesne School Districts for a facility that would serve multi-district needs, and ground was broken at the present Roosevelt site, November 7, 1975. The funding for the campus came from a bill that funded a new wing to the University of Utah Medical Center. A majority of the funding went to the University but it included a line item for the construction of the new campus in Roosevelt.
Effective July 1, 1990, the name of the Center was changed by the Utah State Legislature to the Uintah Basin Applied Technology Center to more accurately reflect the purpose and philosophy of the Center in this modern technological age.
In Sept. 2002 Utah Legislatures created not only a name change from Center" to College, but also the distinction of providing our future technology students with the opportunity of obtaining an associate degree in their field of study. |
