N. Eldon Tanner Building
Built in 1983
Named for N. Eldon Tanner, a member of the Church’s First Presidency and a man known for his business discernment and integrity, this building houses the Marriott School of Business. This facility was financed entirely through private contributions. No church funds were appropriated for construction.
The building is a seven-story structure with a central atrium, built to give the students the feel of a corporate headquarters when they walk inside. The interior has three terraced levels with fountains, trees, park benches, and three large auditoriums, which are tucked under the staircases.
Such an outstanding facility should house outstanding programs, and it does. BYU’s accounting and entrepreneurship programs were ranked number three in the nation in 2018. Ninety-six percent of business students are placed within three months of graduation.
