English: Media related to Deseret Towers, seven former residential halls on the campus of Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, United States.

The first five buildings were completed in 1964, with the next in 1969, and the final in 1978. In 2006 the two of the halls were torn down and the remaining five demolished in 2008. The halls were razed primarily to due concerns of structural instability in the event of an earthquake, but also because of the increasing cost of maintenance and necessary upgrades.

Several years later (2011) BYU began demolishing the former Heritage Halls buildings and constructing new residence halls (still named Heritage Halls). Eventually the number new buildings increased and Heritage Halls expanded to include the former site of Deseret Towers.
