How are the classifying space of $E_8$ and $K(\mathbb{Z},4)$ related?
I recently heard the following fact :
Up to the $15$th skeleton, the classifying space $BE_8$ and $K(\mathbb{Z},4)$ are homotopy equivalent?
I have two questions on this :
(1) Is there any easy way …

Geometric models for classifying spaces of a group
For any given topological group $G$ we have Segal's construction/definition of $BG$. I'm recalling it in case the details turn out to be relevant.
Form the disjoint union of $G^n\times\Delta_n$ f …
