| Artistic Goals of the Commissioned Piece: |
The artwork for the new BGSU Technology building should act as a gateway or ''front door'' for this part of campus. The committee is looking for outdoor work that could have a function as well as act as a gathering place. The work should have a ''wow'' factor that speaks to technology. |
| The exterior of the building and the surrounding green spaces are not going to be changed much in the renovation. The work should act as a entryway to this part of campus and let the visitor know they have arrived at the technology building. Work must be durable and easily maintained. | |
