"Wind Fence," the sculpture, consists of seven sections of wind-animated panels, approximately 10 feet square. The panels are composed of thousands of small anodized aluminum elements that are hinged to move freely in the wind. The panels are mounted onto a series of 8-inch diameter stainless steel poles that are connected by a framework of 2 1/2 inch stainless square tubing. The poles are embedded into concrete footings that are 2 feet in diameter and about 8 feet deep. The overall shape of the fence traces out a gentle arc that sweeps towards the north entrance to the building and extends back into the grove of trees to the east. The intent of the artwork is to reveal the invisible passage of wind through the fence. The curve of the fence echoes the curved facade of the architecture.

On the ground floor the bases of the columns are clad with steel plates. Inside there are lights and holes in the steel to suggest fragments of an atomic pattern and represent solid-state physics, the foundation of the physical sciences. The silvery steel light standards on the second floor are shaped to look like two molecules merging and are there to represent the molecular science fields. The staircase leading to the upper floors is faced with the frieze painted with a design like the spiraling "double-helix" of DNA- the molecular chain on which living matter is based. On the top floor, suspended from the ceiling, is a stainless steel sculpture of 1,800 laser-cut stars, representing the field of astrophysics (Bloomer, 1989)., K.
