Workers walk through the building's lobby. Once completed, the Walker renovation will offer 110,000 square feet and 16 floors of downtown Salt Lake office space.

BNET,
The Walker Center Building's blue-and-red electric sign that indicated coming weather for generations of Salt Lake Valley residents will be reinstalled atop the 20-story building at 175 S. Main, with letters in a vertical pattern on a steel tower harking back to the 1940s
