Equinox at SciLi
|
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] – Around noon on March 20, 2012, Brown University Library will celebrate the vernal equinox once again with an annual moment of gleaming marble in four atriums of the Sciences Library (201 Thayer Street).SciLi’s Friedman Center is enlivened by four courtyards. Areas generally in shadow are planted with evergreens, while sunny regions host shrubs and perennials. White marble slabs part the sunny and deciduous areas. Every year on the vernal equinox, the sun directly hits the marble, illuminating it from above.
If you happen to be in SciLi at noon on March 20, look to the atriums! And, enjoy the changing scenes throughout the spring as Witchhazels and Lenten Rose bloom, followed by Korean Rhododendron, Winterhazel, Viburnum, Sweetbay Magnolia, Snowdrops, Crocuses, and Daffodils.
