Porter College Murals and Sculpture
Pre-Renovation (-- to 2006)
Porter College underwent a full structural renovation between 2007/08 and 2010/11. During the renovation of the Porter A & B Residence halls and the Porter C Dining Hall most non-load bearing walls were remove and in that process, nearly all of the murals painted to that time were destroyed.
The following collection of images were a rushed effort to record the images before demolition. Where possible, and w/in the limits of legibilty, we have included the name of the muralist. If you are an alumni of Porter College and have information about these murals - or are perhaps the artist - Please share that information with us:
