The sculpture is in a grassy area close to Hendry Hall. Trees surrounding the sculpture hang low and make getting good photos a challenge. Also, shadows from Hendry Hall and the Library interfere. Open campus, no access problems getting to the site. I suggest getting a good map of the campus before going. Finding your way around is difficult at best. As usual on campuses, parking is at a premium. Be prepared to walk a ways to find objects on campus.
