As part of the redevelopment of the Woods Hall Campus Union, later renamed the Richard B. Flynn Campus Union, a sundial was installed next to the building on a terrace overlooking Watershops Pond. A 8' circular red granite base is inscribed with the College's motto: SPIRIT MIND BODY. The sundial is a matching 5' diameter by 6" high granite cylinder with an aluminum gnomon that cast its shadow onto a dial that has embedded squares with raised aluminum Arabic numbers. Lines drawn down from the base of the numbers are angled to match the angle of the sun's shadow.
