Murray, Utah sits at the center of the Salt Lake Valley, with the Great Salt Lake to the northwest and monumental mountains in all four directions. It’s an ideal location in the basin, a flat area with the best views, climate, and convenience to be found in one place. Security National Plaza offers a place to observe the landscape, an outdoor space set at a distance from the wild terrain that surrounds it but imbued with the feeling of being right at the heart of it all.

The plaza is a transitional space between private life and work, between indoors and outdoors, between leisure and focus. Wedged in the middle of the pristine Security National building and its austere concrete parking garage, it was often overlooked despite its huge importance in the day of every single user. It’s a place where users shift from their internal, contemplative selves into their active, focused, social work selves. It’s a moment of meditation before an important meeting or a big pitch. And at the end of the day, it carries employees back into their private lives, letting go of the concerns of the day and celebrating the successes.
