Uintah Conference Center
PROJECT NAME
Uintah Conference Center
LOCATION
Vernal, UT
SQUARE FOOTAGE
66,000 sf
— OVERVIEW
A conference center scaled to a region.
The Uintah Conference Center anchors two city blocks in downtown Vernal, bringing a major event venue to a regional Utah community. The 14,000-square-foot ballroom seats over 900 in a banquet setting and configures for meetings, expos, conferences, and receptions of all sizes, complemented by smaller breakout and banquet areas.
A full-service kitchen supports all catering needs, and integrated audio-visual infrastructure offers flexibility across event types. The exterior reads as a confident civic gesture — prominent overhangs and a modern aesthetic that distinguish the building within its downtown context.
The conference center is one component of a larger master plan that includes a hotel and potential retail development.
