Southern Utah University Alumni House

The J. Reuben Clark Jr. Center, known as the Alumni House, sits on the Southern Utah University campus in Cedar City at the corner of 300 West and University Boulevard. The building was originally constructed in 1939 as an Institute of Religion and served for decades as a gathering place for classes, meetings, receptions, parties, and dances. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gifted the building to SUU in 1996, and after renovations it became home to university offices while retaining its rental reception room for private events. The Clark Center Reception Room is approximately 1,600 square feet, with large windows and high ceilings that keep the space light and airy. Hardwood floors and a gas fireplace lend a warm, intimate feel, while crown molding, wooden wall panels, and dimmable accent lighting highlight historic photos of Southern Utah University displayed throughout the room. Rental of the reception room includes 52 chairs, 10 rectangle tables, and use of a prep kitchen, and personal decorations are permitted. Catering can be arranged through SUU Dining Services, the university's preferred catering provider, making the space a straightforward option for receptions, meetings, and other gatherings on campus.
