Artwork from Suzzallo Library

During the renovation, some works of art needed protection and have been moved to temporary locations or storage. They will be reinstalled after the renovation.

Circum Okto

Circum Okto is a freestanding metal sculpture completed by John Geise in 1964 and presented to the University by the Ford Foundation.

Circum Okto used to stand in the rotunda outside the Reading Room. The University has moved this sculpture to a new permanent location in Meany Hall.

Smith Room Murals

The murals include maps with topographical details, historical figures and flowers indigenous to the Pacific Northwest. The murals were composed using a water-based paint on canvas, which was then glued to the walls. They were painted in 1934 by Paul M. Gustin and John T. Jacobsen.
