Major renovations on Monroe Hall began in December, and a wall was built around theperimeter of the construction site.

The project’s guiding principle is the phrase “Embracing the Future,” derived from thetagline marking Loyola’s centennial celebration. Students are researching Loyola andLoyola’s place in the city in order to provide an analytical rationale for the designelements they are creating. The project is accompanied by an essential writtencomponent, MoWALL.wordpress.com, a student-authored blog that reveals and discussesthe design concepts and visual rhetoric behind the images on the wall.
