Laramie County Community College (LCCC) was established in 1968 and is one of 7 community colleges in the state of Wyoming. The primary campus is in Cheyenne, with a branch campus in Laramie and outreach centers at F.E. Warren Air Force Base and in Pine Bluffs. LCCC has 3,572 enrolled students and offers 67 credit programs and concentrations. LCCC partners closely with the University of Wyoming, the state’s only 4 year university.
Laramie County is located in the southeast corner of the state with Nebraska bordering to the east and Colorado to the south. Two major interstates, 25 and 80, cut through the county, which is also home to two major railroads. Laramie County is home to the state capital, Cheyenne, and has a population of about 87,500.
The Student Services and University Center is an 85,000 square foot building and is part of the college’s Build Forward Capital Campaign, aimed at strengthening the services and opportunities for LCCC students, faculty and staff, and the community. It is one of two new buildings currently under construction on campus and is scheduled to be completed in December 2016.
The Student Services and University Center building has two entrances. The north entrance will be used primarily by the public and is situated by a main driveway and turnaround. The south entrance is where students will enter the building and creates a natural outdoor quad area that is screened from the elements and is only open to pedestrian traffic. Green space around the building is intended to encourage student collaboration. The LCCC logo, featuring an eagle, will be installed and backlit on the front of the building on the tall vertical element of the architecture. The LCCC eagle is an iconic and well-loved symbol of the college
Call for Entry
The selection committee for the Art in Public Buildings Project is seeking an iconic sculpture for the exterior of the Student Services and University Center. Two possible locations have been identified: the north/public entrance or the south/student entrance or quad area. Artists are welcome to suggest specific sites for the sculptures based on the site plan and are welcome to submit a sculpture proposal for one or both locations.
The committee is particularly interested in work that expresses the new phase and forward direction of the college, work that represents the LCCC identity, reflects the purpose of the building, or that expresses students’ paths at the college. The committee encourages work that is dynamic and that incorporates or alludes to LCCC programs.
Additional information about the college can be found on their website: https://www.lccc.wy.edu/. The committee is particularly interested in work that is site-specific for the LCCC campus. The goal of the sculpture is to add a focal point to campus that will attract students, faculty, parents, and other visitors. The committee envisions the sculpture as a backdrop for photographs and is a piece that becomes recognizable and representative of the Cheyenne campus.
All styles, conceptual approaches, and mediums are encouraged. The committee is interested in a blend of traditional and contemporary, abstract, or western work. Proposed artwork should enhance and compliment the architectural elements and visually support the purpose of the Student Services and University Center building. All proposed artwork must be durable, structurally sound, secure, site appropriate, and easy to maintain. If lighting is desired, this should be included in the plans and budget.
This is a national call.
For additional project information and specifications including plans, dimensions, and other information, or questions for the architect, contact Rachel Clifton, Rachel.Clifton@wyo.gov or 307-777-5305. Information can also be found on the LCCC website - https://www.lccc.wy.edu/StrategicPlan/goal4/StudentCenter.aspx.
