DesignBuildUTAH@Bluff is a graduate architecture program within the College of Architecture and Planning at the University of Utah, dedicated to immersing students in hands-on, cross-cultural experiences. We work in partnership with the Rural and Native communities of San Juan County in the Utah Four Corners.
