Weber State recognized as national leader in sustainability

Home /Archives forOgden

OGDEN, Utah — Weber State University is being recognized for its success in proactive efforts to become carbon neutral by 2040, a decade ahead of its original goal. 

The American Association of State Colleges and Universities selected WSU to receive the 2023 AASCU Excellence & Innovation Award for Sustainability and Sustainable Development. 

The university earned the honor specifically for its 5-point Carbon Neutrality Strategy initiative, selected by the awards committee for its outstanding results and potential to serve as a model for other institutions.

“We’re extremely proud of this achievement,” said Brad Mortensen, WSU president. “We’re 10 years ahead of schedule in reaching our carbon neutral goal, but we’re even more excited that our model is catching the eye of other institutions across the country who take sustainability seriously and are looking to replicate our success here in Utah.” 

In 2007, Weber State formalized its dedication to sustainability by signing the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, aiming to eliminate emissions and become carbon neutral by 2050, now moved to 2040. 

As of last year, Weber has cut electricity consumption by 35%, natural gas consumption by 43% and total greenhouse gas emissions by 42%, saving over $21 million. By 2038, WSU anticipates having converted every building to all-electric systems.

WSU has also incorporated sustainability across its curriculum, with key faculty and staff sharing the knowledge and skills students need to contribute to sustainable communities and providing opportunities to learn more, even outside the classroom. 

Weber also works with community partners to boost sustainable practices, helping residents reduce their emissions and carbon footprints by utilizing the same strategies implemented on WSU campuses. The university also hosts the Intermountain Sustainability Summit, and co-hosts Utah Climate Action Week and Solve Climate by 2030 events each year.

“Our sustainability work has garnered a lot of attention because we’ve significantly cut our greenhouse gas emissions, saved millions, and we have a detailed strategy for transitioning our campuses to carbon neutral by 2040,” said Jennifer Bodine, WSU sustainability manager. “We all win when we share best practices so we’re thrilled to get the word out and see more people follow suit.”

AASCU will formally recognize WSU’s achievements at a ceremony this November. Last month, Mortensen joined Justin Owen, WSU energy manager, and Jacob Cain, operations director, to present Weber State’s key successes at AASCU’s Sustainability Solutions Symposium in Washington, D.C.Author:

Kym and Peter Buttschardt consider their Roosters group of restaurants as “gathering places first, and restaurants and taprooms second,” said Kym Buttschardt.

So it’s fitting that they were honored with the Utah Restaurant Association’s prestigious Golden Spoon: Restaurateur of the Year award.

“It’s for restaurateurs with a community-minded spirit, and for our love and support of the community,” said Kym Buttschardt.

The awards are nominated by restaurant industry peers and selected by the URA’s executive committee. Some past winners include Deer Valley Resort and Scott Evans of the Pago Restaurant Group in Salt Lake City.

Starting in 1991 when they opened their fledgling Union Grill at Union Station, the Buttschardts helped spur downtown Ogden’s renaissance. In 1995, they opened Roosters Brewing Co. on 25th Street, in serious decline since its railroad town heyday. The success of Roosters and Union Grill attracted other restaurants and shops, transforming the sketchy neighborhood into a historic destination. It’s become a backdrop for festivals, a farmers market, concerts and other events, of which the Buttschardts are often organizers or supporters.

The Buttschardts’ restaurants/breweries/taprooms have grown to include Roosters locations on 25th Street, Layton and at the Salt Lake City International Airport; an expanded Union Grill on 24th Street; the B Street production brewery and taproom on B Avenue in Ogden; and The Coop in Layton.

“As we have grown, we’ve recognized an opportunity to bring all the administrative services under one roof,” said Kym Buttschardt. “We purchased The Depot building in Ogden with that in mind and have been building out an ‘enterprise’ level of management services there. We’re calling that the Roosters Hospitality Group.”

Kim Bowsher has become the chief executive officer of Roosters Hospitality Group, which oversees the Roosters, Union Grill and Coop brands. Chef Matthew Lake is the chief operating officer, overseeing all culinary operations, including catering.

Bowsher most recently headed the Ogden Downtown Alliance and has directed Roosters’ branding and publicity for over 10 years through her media group, kbEnt.

“What she brings is a strategic vision to keep us relevant and working together as a group, rather than individual restaurants and breweries,” said Kym Buttschardt.

“She’s good at figuring out what your customers want, instead of what you want to give them,” said Pete Buttschardt.

Lake, a Culinary Institute of America grad, was named one of Food & Wine magazine’s Best Young Chefs in 1996 when he helmed prestigious New York City restaurants. More recently, he owned Zy and Alamexo restaurants in Salt Lake City. He was hired by the Roosters group in 2021.

“He looked at our whole business, analyzed our menus and brought so much focus,” said Pete Buttschardt. “With our costs and labor rising, we’ve refined our menus and taken some things off and brought some new things on. We’ve had the same menu items at the Ogden and Layton locations, but they weren’t always made the same way. He got to be consistent.”

All catering bookings, whether in Layton, Ogden or elsewhere, now take place with Roosters Hospitality Catering Sales Manager Angelica Sweet.

The past five years have brought growth on many fronts. Roosters opened its B Street taproom and production brewery in late 2018. The brand was awarded a contract at the Salt Lake International Airport through SSP America and began operating there in August 2021. When Corbin’s Grill closed, Roosters in Layton was offered a chance to take over that space next door. It was remodeled into an events area and a new bar/eatery concept, The Coop by Roosters, that opened last fall.

While The Coop was in development, Jeff Ray of Layton’s popular Holy Smoke BBQ was forced to close when he lost his building lease. In a culinary twist of fate, Ray was brought in as pitmaster for The Coop. Fans of the gone-but-not-forgotten Holy Smoke can get their barbecue fix with Ray’s smoked wings, pulled pork, tri-tip steak, brisket and carnitas enchiladas. Ray also provides wings, ribs and other smoked items for the other Roosters restaurants and caterings.

“It’s never going to be the old Holy Smoke, but we’re pretty solid in how we integrated it,” Kym Buttschardt said. “And the cocktail program there is pretty solid too.”

Although alcohol is a big part of Roosters Group restaurants, food still brings in the most revenue. At the Layton and 25th Street Roosters, sales are 80% food, 20% alcohol. At The Coop and B Street taproom, it’s 60% food, 40% alcohol. Union Grill’s sales are 90% food, 10% alcohol.

Each of the different restaurants have their menu mainstays. Union Grill is known for its French onion soup, topped with bubbly, melted provolone cheese. Its pasta salad is another favorite. Pepper jack enchiladas are Roosters’ stop-selling item, filled with shredded roasted turkey and green chilies, topped with pepper jack cheese sauce and chopped cilantro. Grilled salmon is a staple at both Roosters and Union Grill, and there’s a variety of tacos, sandwiches, burgers, pastas and salads at all the restaurants.

The Buttschardts first met working at Market Street Broiler while attending the University of Utah. Kym earned an accounting degree and accepted a job in Washington, D.C., with the Price Waterhouse firm. Meanwhile, Pete heard about an opportunity to open a restaurant in Ogden’s Union Station and scraped together enough money to open Union Grill in 1991.

Kym transferred back to Utah, “because Pete and I either had to break up or be in the same state.”

The two married, and Kym took over Union Grill’s marketing and front-of-house, so Pete could focus on food and operations.

Kym had grown up in Ogden, where her parents owned Sandy’s Fine Foods. But she didn’t feel a pull to come back to Ogden. “Pete is what pulled me back,” she said. “And I decided if I came back, I was going to make this a place where my sons would be proud of where they came from.”

They say they didn’t start out with a grand plan; mostly, they took opportunities as they came. In 1995, they saw an opportunity to open Roosters when brewpubs were becoming trendy. When they needed more space to host large groups, they moved Union Grill to the old Berthana Building on 24th Street, and expanded the Layton Roosters. The opportunity to produce beer on a larger scale for distribution in stores resulted in the B Street facility and taproom.

There were a few glitches along the way.

“We bought Wildflour Bakery and found out that we’re not bakers,” said Pete Buttschardt. He also tried supplying food and drinks in a converted train car at Ogden’s FrontRunner Station, “And that kind of bombed.”

They’ve weathered up-and-down years with recessions and the COVID-19 pandemic. Some years, one location didn’t make money but was offset by another location that did.

Now, the Roosters Hospitality Group will move all the restaurants and catering operations under one umbrella, said Kym Buttschardt. “Pete and I have been spinning plates for so long, and this will give us time to pursue other things that we care about.”

OGDEN, Utah – Weber State University and Ogden City are making contemporary art exciting and accessible to the local community with new, video game-inspired sculptures and a video exhibition at the Dumke Arts Plaza.

The plaza will celebrate this new exhibition with a Season Kick-off on April 7 from 6-9 p.m. at 445 25th Street. The exhibition is curated by Weber State’s Mary Elizabeth Dee Shaw Gallery and features art from Utah artists.

An arts-focused community space, the Dumke Arts Plaza represents a special collaboration between WSU and Ogden City. The Shaw Gallery and a committee of Weber State faculty work to develop the plaza’s programming, taking into consideration artistic practices, technologies and ideas of contemporary artists.

“On behalf of Weber State University, and with the support of the Matthew S. Browning Center for Design, it’s been a pleasure for the Shaw Gallery to lead curatorial programming efforts at the Dumke Arts Plaza,” said Lydia Gravis, director of Art Exhibitions & Public Programs at the Shaw Gallery. “We’re pleased to continue a strong tradition of programming world-class art right here in Ogden.”

Created by Michael Whiting over the course of 15 years, the plaza’s newest free-standing exhibition “Level Up” features sculptures inspired by the pixelated art of retro video games. The sculptures are constructed using steel and automotive paint, and are placed throughout multiple levels of the plaza.

The plaza will also host “Cauldron,” a video exhibition curated by Tyrone Davies that includes 10 short works by eight video makers.

Gravis said the Shaw Gallery is excited to showcase the work of talented artists so close to home.

“As we continue to bring visibility to public art in Ogden, we invite the community to join us in celebrating the creative energy of this dynamic outdoor space,” she said.

Matt Choberka, director of Weber State’s Matthew S. Browning Center for Design, said it’s rewarding to be involved in a project that brings the university and community together.

“The city has been very ambitious in the establishment of the Nine Rails Creative District, recognizing that the arts not only enrich and educate, but are also major drivers of economic development and community revitalization,” he said. “The plaza is in the heart of Nine Rails, and so provides a focal point for creativity and community.”

Choberka said the curation committee is working on bringing a “very exciting range of art experiences to the plaza.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing how the plaza and Mike Whiting’s new pieces interact,” he said. “I think much of the public has yet to really see how much the plaza can offer and how much of a true public space it has become.”

The plaza also represents the continuing philanthropy of the Dr. Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Foundation, the main funder of the project. Since its founding, The Dumke Foundation has gifted over $40 million toward the betterment of communities in the Intermountain West.

“Weber State and Ogden City have benefited enormously from the vision and generosity of the Dumke family,” Choberka said.

The Foundation, Ogden City, RAMP, Weber State and Ogden Contemporary Arts, along with community stakeholders, collaborated closely to develop the vision for the Dumke Arts Plaza.

Friday’s kickoff event will feature performances by Tribal Love and Infusion Rock, and is part of Ogden’s monthly First Friday Art Stroll.

More information on the upcoming exhibit is available on the Shaw Gallery website and more on the Dumke Arts Plaza can be found on Ogden City’s website.

Wildcat MicroFund expands with $1.2 million gift from America First Credit Union


OGDEN, Utah – Weber State University’s Wildcat MicroFund has received a $1.2 million gift from America First Credit Union to expand its services throughout Utah.

The Wildcat MicroFund focuses on serving socially and economically disadvantaged communities throughout northern Utah, offering cash grants of up to $3,000 and additional networking opportunities to Weber State students and area entrepreneurs.

The $1.2 million gift will allow the fund to expand its services to Utah communities beyond Weber, Davis, Morgan and Box Elder counties.

“We serve the next generation of entrepreneurs by giving them a platform to test their ideas in a real-world setting and bring brand awareness to their local communities,” said Catherine Holbrook Clark, manager of the Wildcat MicroFund. “The opportunities that this funding provides not only make a profound impact on the entrepreneurs themselves, but on their families and the community as well.”

Since 2018, the microfund has awarded over 300 grants to businesses in a variety of industries, including construction, education, outdoor recreation and tourism.

Ogden resident Tania Rodriguez is a recent recipient of a microfund grant. Rodriguez operates Los Churros del Norte, a traveling food stand that serves up churros, buñuelos and other Mexican food. SHe worked several different jobs before she decided to pursue her true passion – cooking. Learn more about her in the video below.

“My churros are made from scratch, by hand, and they taste just like a small piece of my beautiful country of Mexico,” she said. “Making churros gives me the opportunity to share something special.”

When the truck that transports her churro cart broke down, Rodriguez couldn’t afford to fix or replace it. A friend told her to apply to the microfund, and she received enough money to buy a new truck to keep working at local events.

America First Credit Union “could not be happier to partner with the Wildcat MicroFund,” said Tammy Gallegos, AFCU’s chief strategic engagement officer.

“The Wildcat MicroFund is an incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs to launch, build and grow their venture,” she said. “We’re thrilled that through this program we get to be part of the journey for individuals furthering innovation here in Utah.”

“The most fulfilling part of being a small business owner is that I’m a step closer to making my American dream a reality,” she said.

Weber State University Uses 3D Printing for Aerospace Support, Research



OGDEN, Utah, January 26 – Weber State University is using 3D printing to advance its research on composite materials that support northern Utah’s aerospace and defense ecosystem.

The university’s Miller Advanced Research and Solutions Center recently upgraded and installed the Impossible Objects Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing system, or CBAM-2. The machine prints composite materials that can then be used to design parts for a range of high-tech applications.

Located near Hill Air Force Base, Utah, the MARS Centers brings together Weber State students and faculty with industry experts who can apply innovative solutions to real-world problems, especially in the realm of national defense.

“Composite materials are of high interest to the military, and the ability to 3D-print those parts on demand with CBAM gives us an advantage to participate in more projects and recruit the best talent,” said David Ferro, dean of WSU’s College of Engineering, Applied Science & Technology.

Ferro said Weber State has a long history with Impossible Objects and believes the new system – a leap in technology from the center’s previous CBAM printer – will be a valuable tool in aerospace research among academia, defense and commercial partners.

“We’ve used this technology to print parts for legacy aircraft, aging jets that need replacement parts or tools that aren’t in production anymore,” said Devin Young, grant writing and research specialist at WSU, who works at the MARS Center. “CBAM makes parts that are lighter and stronger than some of the other methods out there, and it does it faster.”

Young said a recent example of 3D-printed parts via Impossible Objects includes a strap that keeps first-aid kits secure inside aircraft currently flown by the U.S. Air Force.

“We’ve found a range of uses for this technology, from large aerospace companies to small local businesses,” Young said.

Steve Hoover, Impossible Objects CEO, said the CBAM system’s Carbon Fiber PEEK 3D-printed material achieves excellent mechanical properties and is a cutting-edge alternative for aluminum prototyping, tooling, spares and repairs.

“The MARS Center is at the forefront of aerospace and defense research,” Hoover said. “We’re proud that they’ve selected CBAM technology, and have already engaged in several projects that have exciting potential for the Department of Defense, Department of Energy and other industrial partners.”

The MARS Center opened in August 2022 thanks to a $3.5 million donation from the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation. The CBAM 3D Printer from Impossible Objects is among the first advanced manufacturing technologies to be installed and used the new facility.
