“Eureka” reflects the building architecture, featuring stone, and includes a serpentine boulder, three oversized chameleon lizards, a pendulum and engraved quotation by Mary Shelly that reads:

“IT WAS THE SECRETS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH THAT I DESIRED TO LEARN”

The lobby space is composed of imported stone while the centerpiece of the artwork is a boulder is a boulder of Serpentine, the state rock of California. Hanging over the boulder, from the center of the ceiling chandelier is a stainless steel reflective plumb bob that replicates a Foucault pendulum. In 1851, Jean Foucault demonstrated the rotation of the earth around its axis using what became known as a Foucault pendulum. THe three chameleons are cast in different materials, each treated to look like the surface it sits upon. The entire artwork alludes to the foundation of knowledge and adaptability the is the gift of education.
