There's beauty in concrete? Ask Wilfred Ferwerda, co-curator of a new University of Guelph Library exhibit about the concrete building boom of the late 1960s that reshaped the look and feel of a then-fledgling campus and that continues to define today's U of G.
"Brutalism at Guelph: Concrete in a new light" opens June 21 in the McLaughlin Library archives and runs until December.
The display contains photos, articles, illustrations and commentary about a handful of campus buildings erected mostly between 1966 and 1969 Lambton Hall, South Residence, the MacKinnon and MacNaughton buildings, and the library itself.
