At more than 82 feet wide, the vinyl graphic installed on Science Hall\u2019s eastern-facing facade is nearly impossible to miss. The design pairs an excerpt from Augsburg\u2019s strategic vision statement with vibrant hues chosen to reflect the accent colors on the exterior of the new Hagfors Center for Science, Business, and Religion, which stands northwest of Science Hall and is blocked from view in the quad. One of the priorities outlined in Augsburg\u2019s 2016 campus master plan is to extend the quad from the west edge of campus, through the existing campus\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">core, and on to Murphy Square. This vision requires the demolition of Science Hall, which will be possible only after departments and program offices now housed in the facility relocate following\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the completion of the Hagfors Center. The timeline for this work is not yet determined, so, in the near term, those strolling through the heart of campus or navigating nearby streets will see Science Hall stand as an illustration of Augsburg\u2019s vision to be \u201csmall to our students and big for the world.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8198&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8197&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It would be overly modest to claim that Augsburg University\u2019s quad now boasts a splash of color.
