In order for a Sunwheel to be most useful, it is necessary for the site to be in an ACCESSIBLE OPEN AREA, far from buildings and trees, where there is an especially clear view of the eastern and western horizons.
The Campus Physical Planning Committee of the Faculty Senate VOTED UNANIMOUSLY (on Oct. 17, 1995) to approve the
construction of a Sunwheel on the South end of campus, in an empty field near the football stadium, between Stadium Drive and Rocky Hill Road.
