COMMITTEE STATEMENT
The art selection committee envisions an artist’s work in the main atrium and / or the exterior garden level plaza outside the main atrium but would consider other sites the artist may suggest. Works of any medium, with low maintenance requirements, will be considered by the committee. The committee may commission more than one artist for this project or would consider one artist or artist team or works that utilize multiple elements.
It is the hope of the committee that this new art project will embody the architect and college efforts to create a building and campus that is invitingly accessible to everyone and offers areas of learning, respite, comfort, and intermingling. This building, dedicated to the education of health care professionals, has the physical attributes of nurturing and envelopes the occupants much like the ideal relationship of the health care professional and his/her patient.
The atrium and garden level plaza have a strong visual connection intersected by the glass curtain wall. The long sweeping sloped roofline refers to the stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains to the East and to the pitched roofs of nearby residential neighborhoods.
