Sculptures Continue to Rise on Campus

A 12-foot, 500-pound fiberglass steelworker created by internationally acclaimed sculptor Luis Jimenez of New Mexico is the latest addition to the University's Arts on the Point sculpture park.

"The Steelworker" was raised on a platform outside the corner where the Science building and Wheatley and McCormack Halls meet on January 14. Originally commissioned by the City of Buffalo, New York, the city reneged on its agreement, which triggered the sculpture's recent travels to cities around the country. It is the second sculpture to take its place on campus grounds, joining "Huru" which was installed in December.
