The Wall of Discovery is an environmental artwork that includes a 253-foot-long printed "blackboard" located in the center of the Scholars Walk on the University of Minnesota campus.
This installation was designed to celebrate the discoveries, inventions and creations of alumni and faculty of the University that have brought significant changes to the world in which we live.
Extensive research was done by Minneapolis design firm LA ink that led to the finding of many original hand written notes and diagrams chronicling the discoveries by these scholars.
20 Glass edge lit panels were also designed to both illuminate the walkway and possibly inspire current students toward future discoveries.
The Artwork was submitted to the SEGD design competition in 2007 and won their "Honor Award" the highest achievement category.
