Pluralsight Inc., a Utah-based enterprise technology learning software developer, has broken ground on a new worldwide headquarters in Draper. Pluralsight co-founder and CEO Aaron Skonnard and company executives were joined by Gov. Gary R. Herbert and Draper Mayor Troy Walker for the beginning of construction on the company’s facility on 30 acres at 42 Future Way.
Development of the new campus has begun with Phase 1 construction of a 700-foot-long, 350,000-square-foot building that can accommodate up to 2,000 employees. Amenities of the four-story building will include a full-service cafe, medical clinic, fitness center, bike room, picnic area, athletic courts and a walking path with access to the nearby trail system.
“What started in Utah stays in Utah and now expands in Utah,” said Skonnard. “Democratizing technology skills is our mission and our new campus will play a critical role in supporting our growth to deliver on that mission to create a better future for us all. We are excited to do this as part of the fabric of the Draper community and look forward to contributing to the continued expansion of Silicon Slopes and the growth of the Utah economy.”
Pluralsight was founded in 2004 and employs approximately 1,000.
When the building is completed in spring 2020, Pluralsight will move employees from its Farmington and South Jordan sites to the the new campus, the company said. Through its expansion, Pluralsight plans to create approximately 2,400 additional jobs, $86.2 million in new state revenue and an estimated $371.7 million in capital investment over the next 10 years.
“Pluralsight represents so much of what is going right in Utah’s technology ecosystem and is a respected leader of Silicon Slopes,” said Herbert. “We admire their vision, tenacity and commitment in delivering on their mission and we are proud of what they have accomplished. We look forward to the next chapter of the company’s growth from their new headquarters in Draper.”
Pluralsight will begin development of additional buildings on the campus as the company expands to bring the total footprint to 800,000 to 1 million square feet of office space and room for up to 5,000 team members.
