A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:

In 2022, BYU's main campus comprised about 300 buildings on approximately 600 acres in Provo, Utah. As the flagship university of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU continues to service the adjacent Missionary Training Center, a 39-acre, 16-building complex that prepares volunteer missionaries, many of whom are BYU students who delay or pause their education to serve an extended assignment for the Church. Though separate financially and administratively from BYU, the MTC receives power, heat, and cooling from BYU, and its material waste is managed by BYU. Therefore, as noted, some operational categories of this report include the MTC's square footage, acreage, and resident headcounts.


Which of the following features are present on campus and which are included within the institutional boundary?:
Present? Included?
Agricultural school No No
Medical school No No
Other professional school with labs or clinics (e.g. dental, nursing, pharmacy, public health, veterinary) Yes Yes
Museum Yes Yes
Satellite campus Yes No
Farm larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres No No
Agricultural experiment station larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres Yes No
Hospital No No

The rationale for excluding any features that are present from the institutional boundary:

Outside the institutional boundary described above is an agricultural experiment station near St. George, Utah, a satellite campus in Salt Lake City, and student centers in Jerusalem, London, and Washington, D.C. Also beyond this institutional boundary are nearby Y Mountain, several canyon guesthouses, and a mountain observatory, which are separate from BYU’s contiguous systems and dependent on vendors with different utility management, data collection, and billing procedures.


Two additional properties, acquired by BYU but renovated through 2022 or later, were also excluded from the 2022 boundary: West Campus and Riviera Apartments.
