It became Weber College in 1922 and the LDS Church transferred the institution to the State of Utah in 1933. In 1951 the college moved to an area on the southeast side of the city. The college became Weber State College in 1962 and on January 1, 1991 it became Weber State University. The gymnasium is currently vacant with its most recent use being a Gold's Gym.
