The University of Utah Circle, also known as Presidents Circle, is located on the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as a historic district.
In 1900 the University of Utah moved to the current east-bench campus on land that used to belong to Fort Douglas. The four original buildings, which are currently known as the John Widtsoe Building, the LeRoy Cowles Building, the Alfred Emery Building, and the James Talmage Building were built on what is now University of Utah circle.
The district is composed of the following eight buildings, which are all named after former University of Utah Presidents and located along University Circle:
LeRoy Cowles Building
Gardner Hall
Thomas Building (here in 2008, still home of the "Utah Museum of Natural History")
Park Building
