This is the front entrance to Rowan University's Chamberlain Student Center, located at the following coordinates: 39.708400751610625, -75.11800456433696.

This building opened in 1974 as the Student Center for Glassboro State College. In 2008, it was renamed for the University's fourth president, Dr. Mark Chamberlain.

The photos show the University's first public sculpture, Growth #50, created by John Ottiano, a former professor and department chair for the Department of Art. The sculpture celebrates the 50th anniversary of the University. To learn more about this public sculpture and Rowan University's public art, please visit https://publicart.rowan.edu/
