The Wall of Discovery on the Scholars Walk at the University of Minnesota is designed to celebrate the discoveries, inventions and creations of alumni and faculty that have brought significant changes to the world in which we live. Many months of research have yielded a wealth of original documents from these intellectual pioneers which are incorporated into a giant blackboard covering 260 feet of the north wall on the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science building on the Twin Cities campus. 20 edge-lit glass panels, etched and carved with abstract images appear to float in front of the blackboard allowing the viewer to reflect on the work of future scholars that may yield tomorrow’s discoveries.
