Fort Douglas


BRAC Summary: The Commission recommends Fort Douglas for closure. It is positioned in the center of the University of Utah campus which severely restricts its operational flexibility. Its regional support mission can be relocated to another location. The Reserve Component facilities will be segregated and retained within the Fort.

Property Description: Fort Douglas was located 3.5 miles from the center of Salt Lake City, UT. At the time of closure only 115 acres of the original Army property remained and it was surrounded by the University of Utah Campus, Medical Center, Arboretum, and Research Park.

Conveyance Summary:
Starting Acres: 55.25
