The following information about this bicycle tender is from the University of North Florida's campus newspaper "Spinnaker" (visit link) published on August 20, 2015:

"Alycia Bren, sculpture senior, made the first piece introduced to campus this summer. Bren spent the spring semester building “Above Average,” which now resides in front of Tom and Betty Petway Hall.

“It brings a lot of character to the campus and it’s very inviting,” Bren said, regarding the importance of art on campus. “It gives our campus a very pleasant image.”

Bren searched for something that relates to education and learning, and realized that a paperclip bike rack would be a fun addition to campus. She proposed her idea to the committee in the fall and completed the project over the spring semester after it was chosen.

“I also like that it is a functional piece of art. It’s not just standing there, and I think people will enjoy it,” Bren said."
