James Sculpture Garden

The James Sculpture Garden, a bustling meeting place for students, faculty, staff, and visitors, is located just past the entrance to UUÖ±²¥â€™s Downtown Campus. In 2010, the square was redesigned to create a more pedestrian-friendly area with green space and outdoor seating. In addition to a terraced lawn, four outdoor sculptures were strategically placed along the north and south pathways of the square, where they enhance the environment and catalyze discussion.


Charles Daudelin’s (1920-2001)Ìý±Ê´Ç±ô²â±èè»å±ð (1967) sits outside the on the north side, and Square Forms and Circles by Barbara Hepworth is located nearby. Giovanni (John) Porretta’s Exaltation (ca. 1982)Ìý(pictured below)Ìýand Marcel Barbeau’s Fenêtre sur l’avenirÌý(1992)Ìýcan be found along the south side stairs, leading to the upper part of campus. All four sculptures are examples of twentiethÌýcentury abstract sculptures.
