The 12-story classroom-office building is named after the Church's 12th president, Spencer W. Kimball. The tallest building in Provo at 161 feet 6 inches, the tower is positioned on a 45-degree angle to avoid the "corridor effect," an increase in wind speed caused by buildings all in a row. The Kimball Tower currently houses the College of Family, Home, and Social Sciences and the College of Nursing.
