The cobblestone compass rose and the 15-foot abstract steel sculpture at its center were created as a memorial in remembrance of the events of 9/11. The sculpture and compass rose were designed by Florida State College art professors Michael Cottrell and Patrick Miko, respectively.

A plaque embedded in the compass rose cobblestone at the base of the sculpture reads:

POINTS OF HOPE
Dedicated Friday, September 9, 2011 in
remembrance of the events of September 11, 2001
and the individual and collective courage, dignity,
and spirit of hope which arose from the ruins of a
National catastrophe. Those who pass by this place
will recognize that higher education, like a compass,
has always helped chart a course for a future filled
with hope and a collective understanding of our
responsibility for serving others.
(Plaza Design - Prof. Patrick Mike, Sculptor - Prof. Michael Cottrell)
