Virginia Commonwealth University Dedicates Ram Horns |
|
Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) dedicated its latest, and most dramatic, piece of outdoor sculpture. As the first piece of "spirit" sculpture on campus, the Rams Horns were dedicated by SGA president Gabriel Walker and outgoing VCU President Eugene P. Trani in his last official ceremony. The pair of solid bronze horns stand on the upper level of the University Student Commons Plaza. The Rams Horns were created by a VCU Alumnus. They weigh 3500 lbs each and took over one week to install.
Dr. Timothy A. Reed, Director, University Student Commons and Activities, was part of the planning to bring the sculpture to the Commons Plaza. "When they first approached me about placing them in the Plaza, I was aghast! Then after learning they are designed to serve as a sculptural photo-spot, I worked with the designers and engineers to place them on the upper level of the Plaza. With a set of monumental stairs leading up to them, they will become the place every student and student organization will want to have their photo taken. What Union director wouldn't want that on the doorstep!"
Even as the ceremony ended, the crowd on hand snapped pictures with cameras and phones. The dream is already a reality. VCU will post full details about the sculpture and the artist on its website in the coming weeks. |
