Art Exhibit in Allen Arcade

An art exhibit has been installed (by Physical Plant in conjunction with the Campus Landscape Architect) outside Allen North. This exhibit is a student art project which has been residing outside the UW Tower for the past 6 months. It has been moved to the central campus for Fall Quarter, and the new location is outside the library. Specifically, the exhibit is arranged along the side of the Allen arcade facing the HUB.

Below is a link to information about the exhibit from a University Week article, dating from the time when the exhibit was first installed at the Tower.

(We have consulted with the Fire Prevention Specialist in EH&S about the correct placement of the exhibit pieces, to make sure there is still passageway for fire trucks through the arcade.)

I think you'll enjoy seeing this example of student work housed temporarily outside the Allen Library.
