APMA worked with UNMC, Olsson and Associates, and artist Jun Kankeo to envision and create this new “campus gateway” honoring Dr. Larisa Poluetktova – a long-time employee. 18 hand painted columnar monoliths follow a curving path connecting busy Leavenworth St. to the campus interior. New landscaping complements the forms and creates an opportunity for rest, reprieve and contemplation.

From the artist’s statement: “Throughout history columnar monolithic forms have been intrinsically inspiring to our human experience. To look up builds feelings of awe and trust, and carries our thoughts beyond our immediate presence.”
