WisSJ: Shimmering St. Paul's mosaic a striking addition to campus end of State Street in Madison


The lede story when I checked this morning!
Even on an overcast fall afternoon, the nearly 300,000 tiles that make up the mosaic on the new Catholic student center at UW-Madison were shimmering as freshman Casey Gilinson walked by.

The two-story mosaic — like the new $30 million Saint Paul University Catholic Center itself, clad in brick and stone and topped by a copper dome — is a striking new addition at the most prominent gateway to UW-Madison, and stands out next to its drab, concrete campus neighbors.

“It’s colorful,” Gilinson said. “It’s nice to see on my way to class.”
