section 8 – campus art<br />

Public art on campus gives the outdoor environment a distinctive identity and<br />

helps to shape the university image.<br />

Art location priorities include: campus gateways, outdoor plazas, nodes<br />

along pedestrian corridors, near athletic facilities, the facades of university<br />

buildings and the public lobbies of popularly visited buildings.<br />

Art pieces shall meet the scale of surrounding spaces and be of a color and<br />

material that complements the campus standards. Art shall be durable to the<br />

unique <strong>South</strong> <strong>Dakota</strong> climate and to the conditions anticipated at its selected<br />

final location.<br />

When appropriate, art shall be securely mounted to a sculpture base,<br />

preferably of concrete or stone. The installation of the sculpture should<br />

include consideration for the inclusion of landscape or other appropriate<br />

surroundings. The installation of any piece of art should not provide any<br />

hazards to the campus user.<br />

Submissions for placement of art on campus are reviewed and<br />

recommended by a campus building subcommittee. Submissions approved<br />

by the subcommittee then go to the university president for final review<br />

and decision. Upon acceptance, the subcommittee will oversee the art<br />

installation and coordinate a dedication ceremony for each new piece of art.<br />

Commissioned works shall schedule project update meetings throughout<br />

the process to ensure that the final art product ultimately meets the originally<br />

submitted and accepted proposal.<br />
