Housing Crisis (1946-1960s)
The college continued using the temporary military structures
moved to campus during WWII for housing and classrooms. To help
relieve the housing crisis for thousands of returning veterans and
their families, the university purchased trailer homes, Quonset huts,
and tropical bungalows, which remained in service until
construction of Aggie Village during the 1960s. The Field House
provided bunk beds for single men, while Lund Hall housed twice as
many women students as originally designed. The last remaining
Quonset hut on campus now houses Utah Public Radio.
An aerial image of the temporary housing structures
constructed east of the library, c. 1946.
