The Family Life Building is a building on the Utah State University campus in Logan, Utah. It was built in 1935 as a Public Works Administration project to provide jobs during the Great Depression, and "to house the school's Home Economics Department and all student union activities."[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Home Economics/Commons Building in 1985.[1]
The large, two-story, flat-roofed building features narrow, recessed window panels and a crenelated parapet. Transoms include zig-zag tracery.[2] Hodgson & McClenahan designed the building, and general contractor Soren Jacobsen of Logan oversaw construction.[2]
The building is Art Deco in style and has been called "one of the best examples of the Art Deco architectural style in Utah."[2] Located off U.S. Route 89, it is known as the Family Life Building.[3]
