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 />
