Homage

In 1974, the college commissioned Hadyn Davies to construct "Homage", a wooden structure, outside the main entrance of the college. In 2005, the college tore it down with a backhoe, citing safety concerns due to an ant infestation and other animals degrading the structure. Davies subsequently sued the college contending the college failed to maintain the structure. ["CBC News", http://www.cbc.ca/story/arts/national/2006/05/04/angry-sculptor.html retrieved 13 Mar 08]

A video [http://haydndaviessculptor.ca/destruction.html 'homage 2 Homage'] has been made calling it an arbitrary decision to destroy the structure.
