In collaboration with UIUC Professor Emeritus Jeffery Poss and Normal, Illinois sculptor Dann Nardi, this project involved the design and construction of the World War II Illinois Veterans Memorial located in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. The design features flanking granite walls, concrete and granite paver walkways, landscaped berms and the raised relief world globe. Chronologies of important war events are inscribed into the granite walls with Pacific Theater events listed on one side and European Theater events on the other. The converging walls direct visitors to the white, twelve-foot diameter globe where battle sites are highlighted with stainless steel markers.
