Landmark Project Committee UNCW 1983-1988

The purpose of the Landmark Committee was to develop a plan for a University Landmark incorporating the history of Southeastern North Carolina, the present and future of UNCW.  Boney Architects were commissioned to take the Committee ideas and research and develop a Landmark Monolith with appropriate landscaping for the University Commons.  The Committee and ultimately the plans, were abandoned in 1988, after nearly five years of work.
