A nationwide  search was carried out to  find an artist to create a space that was  functional as well as commemorative. Leicester was one of four  finalists out of 149 submissions from 32 states. The other finalists  were Alice Adams, Jackie Ferrara, and Barbara Grygutis.  Leicester's design reflects the history of the campus and maintains  Alumni Circle as a recreational and social area for students.
