UTI to move Arizona headquarters

The headquarters of Universal Technical Institute are relocating next year to the north Phoenix/Scottsdale border in Arizona, according to published reports.

UTI is currently housed in Phoenix. However the school’s seven-year lease will be up at the end of the year, so the institute is moving to a location with more space. The agreement is “good economically” for the company, spokeswoman Tina Miller told The Arizona Republic.

UTI will lease two floors with a total of 85,000 square-feet of space at the MAX at Kierland, an office building near the upscale Kierland Commons shopping center. The larger facility will allow UTI to hire 25 more people in addition to its current staff of 400.
