The 5WS

By Loc Do

The 5WS monument is an innovative tribute to the six buildings on campus, addressing the fundamental journalistic questions: who, what, when, where, and why. The monument comprises a set of curved wooden structures that stand in front of each building, and its main objective is to honor the person the building is named after and showcase their contributions to the university. The monument is designed as a pair of structures, with each pair representing a subtle connection between the two buildings. While the pairs are not physically connected, their placement is such that it implies a strong connection that symbolizes the roles and significance of the individuals whose names are etched on the monuments. Overall, the monument is a beautiful and innovative way to honor the people and their contributions to the buildings on campus while informing the public about their significance to Woodbury's history and legacy.
