"Originally titled “Construction No. 3,” this sculpture has served Dickinson for 42 years as an icon — first for Dickinson College and now for Dickinson Community.
In fall 1967, Dickinson residents renamed the sculpture “collegiate structure” to recognize Dickinson College as the first residential college on the Binghamton University campus. In 1974, Dickinson was renamed “Dickinson Community” and Walford’s sculpture was renamed “the object,” a reference that continues to this day. Don Walford ’67 returned to campus from his Colorado home for Dickinson’s 50th anniversary celebration to rebuild “the object” using environmentally friendly materials."
