Located in the front lobby of the Science Center, this 25-foot, three-dimensional mosaic contains images symbolically related to the various areas of study in the College of Science and Engineering. Created in 1993 by California artist Allen Bishop, this brightly-colored abstract features five panels that visually represent the ascent of human scientific inquiry. The bottom panel begins with physics and moves through microbiology, macrobiology and then to geology. The top panel represents the cosmos.
