An Auggie passes by the first art installation in the Norman and Evangeline Hagfors Center\u00a0for Science, Business, and Religion. This new academic building, which will open in January\u00a02018, celebrates Augsburg\u2019s commitment to learning at the intersection of disciplines.\u00a0Glass fritting on the lobby curtain wall depicts the pattern of Martin Luther\u2019s handwritten\u00a0score of \u201cA Mighty Fortress is Our God\u201d overlaid with the cell structure of elm wood.<\/p>\n

Science, business, and religion, drawn together\u00a0in space, time, and rhythm of the ages,\u201d said Augsburg President Paul C. Pribbenow<\/strong>, who,\u00a0with his wife, Abigail Crampton Pribbenow<\/strong>, sponsored the artwork.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An Auggie passes by the first art installation in the Norman and Evangeline Hagfors Center\u00a0for Science, Business, and Religion.
