Nobel Plaza

View of the Nobel Plaza at the entrance of the College Building.

Bio/Historical Note: The Nobel Plaza honouring the two Nobel laureates with University of Saskatchewan connections was officially opened on 24 October 1997. The $200,000 Plaza was sponsored by the Meewasin Authority and Meewasin Foundation and presented as a gift to recognize the university’s 90th birthday. Two bronze plaques honour Henry Taube (BSc. 1935, MSc. 1937), who was a Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry in 1983 when affiliated with Stanford University, and Gerhard Herzberg, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1971. He had an illustrious career with the National Research Council, Ottawa. The Plaza is attached to the main exit from the building and the Bowl and consists of a pedestrian concourse with a stone clad speaker’s podium faced with the two bronze plaques.
