Elemental Endowment honors OSU’s tremendous distinction as the only public institution of higher education with Land, Space, Sun and Sea Grant status. Abstract imagery references each domain and brings nature into a windowless environment. A U-track and steel beams, inside the wall, support the glass panels which people experience from both the lobby and event space. The materials are translucent and include a noise-reduction laminate to enhance privacy.
