STEM Building and Chemistry Addition Arts Inclusion – Outdoor Classroom

 

 

The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts (NJSCA) requested artists / designers from across the USA to submit qualifications for the creation of an outdoor artwork.  As part of the new STEM Building and Chemistry Addition, the artwork will serve as a focal point and as an outdoor classroom and gathering space for students and the college community.  We received submissions from 115 artists / designers in December 2015.  Our artist selection committee, including representatives from TCNJ’s students, faculty, staff, board of trustees, art gallery, and campus planning, as well as the architect of record, and the NJSCA, shortlisted 14 artist / designers to submit proposals for this project.

Wowhaus (Ene Osteraas-Constable & Scott Constable) was selected in April 2016, with the contract awarded after Board of Trustee approval in July 2016.    The artwork will be installed in fall / winter 2017.
