[edit] Honorary Name

The building is named after Spencer Kimball, the twelfth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1][2][3][4]

[edit] Design

Completed in 1981, the building stands at 161 feet, 6 inches (49 m) as the tallest building in Provo, Utah. To offset a corridor effect, the building was positioned at a 45-degree angle to nearby buildings.[1][2]

The building houses Brigham Young University's College of Family, Home and Social Sciences and College of Nursing and their various subsidiary departments and programs.[2]
