Description:  site specific piece that was commissioned to honor the alumni of
                    UCA during the centennial celebration in 2007. A nationwide
                    search was carried out to  find an artist to create a space that was
                    functional as well as commemorative. Leicester was one of four
                    finalists out of 149 submissions from 32 states. The other finalists
                    were Alice Adams, Jackie Ferrara, and Barbara Grygutis.

                   Leicester's design reflects the history of the campus and maintains
                   Alumni Circle as a recreational and social area for students. The
                   area is intended for daytime as well as night time use, and will
                    incorporate green technology  into the final installation.
