Solar Rotary

Located in the plaza south of Cooper Hall and north of the Communication building is Solar Rotary, a 20-foot aluminum sculpture created by artist Nancy Holt. At certain times during the year, the structure casts a circle of sunlight on five different bronze plates representing significant events in Florida history. Once a year, during the summer solstice, a large ring of sun shines on the central circular seat (see photo 1). In the center of this ring is a million-year-old meteorite found in Florida.
