BYU to enclose business school atrium in glass after December suicide

After a student died by suicide falling from the atrium inside Brigham Young University’s Tanner building in December, the university announced this week plans to enclose the atrium with glass.

FOX 13 reports that the university will replace the glass parapet walls surrounding the atrium’s walkway with taller glass. Construction on the new walls is set to begin “immediately," and will be completed in early April, FOX 13 reported.
