The University of North Carolina at Greensboro was known as the Woman’s College from 1932-63. Inspired by ideas such as tradition and change, the tribute design has two main elements: the “garland walls” and a central sculpture. The “garland walls” visually connect people to the legacy of the past through historic photographs. The sculpture is the embodiment of the spirit and aspirations of all the women who passed through the educational halls of the Woman’s College. Studiofolia was responsible for concept visioning and spatial and graphic design; the bronze sculpture was designed and fabricated by Michael Stutz.
