Summit County, Utah (July 16, 2025) — Summit County signed a new lease agreement with Skullcandy, Inc. allowing the company to vacate its current headquarters by the end of September 2025. This milestone clears the way for the County to move forward with its vision to transform the building into a landmark government facility in Kimball Junction.
The building, purchased earlier this year for $17.5 million, will eventually house a range of County services and offices, including a library branch, DMV operations, County Council meeting space, conference rooms, and other public-facing programs.
“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a vibrant, accessible, and modern civic hub in the Synderville Basin,” Summit County Manager Shayne Scott said. “We’re excited to build a space that reflects the County’s commitment to service while making essential programs more accessible for residents.”
At this time, Summit County does not intend to relocate services from the County Courthouse in Coalville. Only services and offices currently located in the Snyderville Basin will transition to the new Kimball Junction facility. Planning and design for the transformation is actively underway in partnership with GSBS Architects.
In addition to the Skullcandy building acquisition, community infrastructure investments, like a new regional transit facility on the site of the Sheldon Richins Building are also planned, with demolition of the Richins Building scheduled to begin within the next year. These improvements are part of a broader county-wide facilities plan in development, which also includes future updates to county facilities in North and South Summit.
Summit County appreciates Skullcandy’s collaboration and partnership during the transition and wishes the company continued success in Summit County as it prepares to relocate to another facility in Kimball Junction.
