A bold new mural, titled Waterfall Abstraction, now welcomes visitors to the Leinweber Computer Science & Information Building on North Campus. The piece is located inside the Gerstacker Grove entrance.
Commissioned through a gift from Professor Emeritus John Laird and Ann Alpern, the mural continues the couple’s legacy of enhancing campus spaces with art.
Several years ago, Laird and Alpern funded a stained-glass installation in the Bob and Betty Beyster Building, and this new commission at the Leinweber Building was envisioned as a visual companion piece.
