Working closely with John Rogers and the architect was Portland glass artist Howard Meehan who is the corporate design manager for Tektronix. The two 10 foot by 15 foot glass areas in the auditorium reference Rogers' wall relief and reflect the artist's interest in aerial views of the earth. As a Vietnam Veteran, Meehan felt strongly about the new building. His imagery echoes the topography of the Asian European theaters, and the translucent sandblasted areas also make the movement of the traffic on Summer Street. Color was introduced by glass rods fused to the inside of each of the interior panels before they were sealed for thermal insulation. Meehan was assisted in this work by glass fabricator Tim O'Neil.
