- Note
- The works of art which are found throughout the housing complex are the result of a partnership between Oregon's Percent for Art program and Southern Oregon University. All of the works of art in the complex have been created with the many children who live here in mind. They are not only wonderful to look at but, with the exception of the glass window, have been designed to encourage touching and active involvement. The challenge which the artists faced was to design environments which would invite children to invent the way the components should be used and which would be visually strong and inviting as well.
