Spencer W. Kimball Tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spencer W. Kimball Tower, often referred to as the "SWKT" (IPA pronunciation: [ˈswɪk.ɪt]) or "Kimball Tower", is a 12-story building which houses classrooms and administrative offices on the Brigham Young University campus in Provo, Utah.[1][2][3]

The building is named after Spencer Kimball, the twelfth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1][2][3][4]
Completed in 1981, the building stands at 161 feet, 6 inches (49 m) as the tallest building in Provo, Utah. To offset a corridor effect, the building was positioned at a 45-degree angle to nearby buildings.[1][2]
The building houses Brigham Young University's College of Family, Home and Social Sciences and College of Nursing and their various subsidiary departments and programs.[2]
