Harrison murals add vibrancy to new building
Harrison Celebrated Canadian painter Ted Harrison was present June 17 for the unveiling of two large murals he has donated to the University of Victoria. Harrison had painted the murals on the walls of his home and, when he moved last year, they were saved and now grace the walls of the university’s new Social Sciences and Mathematics Building. Vast Yukon (shown above) is installed in the foyer outside room A104. Harrison’s View of British Columbia is displayed on the third floor of the southwest stairwell.
