Official Opening Forest of Light - Keele University

Official Opening of the Forest of Light and Union Square - 28th November 2012

Fireworks and lasers lit up the Students' Union Building and Union Square as alumni, students, staff, local residents and civic dignitaries gathered to see the first lighting of the Forest of Light.

The unveiling of the sculpture by Pro Chancellor Malcolm Peckham marked the completion of a major project to transform the heart of the campus, the £2.7 million overhaul of the Students’ Union building into a superb social hub and the grand finale of Keele 50th Anniversary year.

The walk-through installation - designed by Diane Maclean to commemorate Keele’s 50th Anniversary - reflects the open nature of the University, its many disciplines and the different backgrounds and countries around the world from which students are drawn. Cluster lights set in the ground shine through and reflect on the many angled surfaces of the columns.
