WALL OF DISCOVERY

Minneapolis, Minnesota

The 253-foot-long wall is a three-dimensional blend of art and architecture that showcases reproductions of scholar's original sketched, notes, drawings, and letters on an illuminated "blackboard" along the north side of the electrical engineering and computer science building.

The intention with the Wall of Discovery was to develop an east-west walkway connecting the Alumni Center to Cass Gilbert's Northrop Mall. To transform a bleak part of the campus, bordered by a driveway and a loading dock, into a pathway of inspiration that demonstrates how university scholars have benefited the world.
