Beacon will operate as a functioning lighthouse lantern on the roof of a prominent university building. Having a lighthouse at a college or university carries particular resonance. As a beacon it symbolizes the act of searching for meaning and purpose; allowing oneself to wander astray; and helping us eventually find our way back home. Students and researchers alike are on quests of their own choosing, and a university operates as a stable safe haven where such risks are not merely allowed but encouraged.
