Artwork in the Englush, Philosophy, and Education courtyard was carved in Carrara, Italy. Symbols are related to life"s journey and revelation of ideas in English, philosophy, and education.
The plaque is on the English and Philosophy building. It tells more about the inspiration behind the theme of this piece. It is also a working fountain. Not sure why it wasn't working at the time. This is a popular spot for selfies and pictures. Nice place to rest. It isn't visible from the road.
Free parking after 8 pm on weekdays and weekends. During regular school hours watch where you park. Best place is the paid parking at the School of Art building next to the Education building. Limited spaces though.
