Weber State University is looking at a 47-acre plot near Yellowstone National Park.

The school is one of only two universities in Utah without a field station for hands-on, in-the-field research.

The hope would be to start construction soon and open the station in a community on the periphery of the park by fall 2026 .

Weber State is planning to build a field station in Yellowstone National Park.

The school wanted to be accessible to students and faculty all year , dean says.

It's another first for Weber and its connection to the park, which was established by Congress in 1872 .

The first scientific survey team that ultimately led to the designation of the park departed from Ogden , Utah .
