The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

A $15 million donation from the Sorenson Legacy Foundation http://www.sorensoncompanies.com/sorenson_legacy.html will begin transformation of what has been a leisurely pastime for University of Utah http://www.utah.edu/portal/site/uuhome/ students into the future of Utah’s investment in technology research.

Instead of an 18-hole, 11-acre golf course, which currently separates much of the medical and technological research and development happening at the U., Sorenson’s donation sets the stage for a new four-building complex as well as at least a dozen intramural playing fields, including room for lacrosse and rugby matches, and possibly a new running track.

"We are always looking for ways in which to expand the intensity of the student experience," said U. President Michael K. Young. "We want to make the green space usable in the best way we can."
