An arts group for young people that fled its old building because of Salt Lake City’s homeless crisis in 2016 over safety concerns is getting a new permanent home.
Officials expect to break ground Friday on a sleek and fully equipped education center for Spy Hop in the city’s Central 9th neighborhood.
Organizers with the youth digital media arts group and the city’s Redevelopment Agency (RDA) will eventually fill a parking lot on the northwest corner of 200 West and 900 South with the new 22,000-square-foot headquarters.
The state-of-the-art center will house Spy Hop’s offices, multi-media classroom spaces, production studios, and a rooftop performance and community event venue, spread over three floors.
