What's in a Name? The Names and Places of Alverno College

 

Soaring

This is a photo of Reiman Plaza with the Sister Joel Read Center in the background and the sculpture "Soaring" in the foreground.

 

"Soaring" is a public art work by American artist Lyle London. It can be found in Reiman Plaza. With the appearance of birds in flight, the abstract stainless steel sculpture rises 20 feet from a fountain. London's commission was coordinated by Uhlein-Wilson Architects and made possible by a generous gift from Roy and Bobbi Reiman who funded a campus wide beautification project at Alverno in 2006.
