The David Eccles School of Business is really a phenomenal place. The Spencer Fox Eccles Business Building has a lot of amazing features that not most people know about. I took a deeper look in to the building and pulled out the five best facts about the building.

1. Eccles was built in two phases. The south end was done first, opening in spring 2012. The north end opened in fall 2013.
2. The walls that are made out of wood on the east side and are slightly slanted, and they were designed to resemble the slot canyons found in Southern Utah.
3. The 7^th floor is meant to be mostly office besides the First Security Boardroom which is on the far north end. It was built to be an exact replica of the Utah bank’s board room during the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s. First Security Bank was owned and run by the Eccles family. The building is still located on 100 South in Salt Lake City.
4. Walking in the front doors and looking up on the wall to the left you see an aerial view of the great Salt Lake. This is the e-oculus, a collaboration between an artist from Arizona and a computer programmer from Utah. The color changes depending on how the stock market is doing. When the stock market is performing better, it turns brighter and clearer. The darker and murkier purple it turns means that the stock market isn’t doing as well. The lines running through the image indicate a major stock trade happened.
5. All artwork on the walls found within Eccles is on lease. This means an outside donor will donate the piece to the school for about three-to-five years and then switch it out.
