The Sentinel, made by Albert Paley for RIT in 2003, is the largest sculpture on any American university campus. Weighing in at 110 tons and standing 73 feet tall, this monumental structure dominates the RIT skyline.
As Paley's most ambitious commission up to that point, he referred "to the technological dimension of the institute and the dynamic transformative nature of the educational process." It is said that from a certain viewing angle the sculpture resembles a knight riding a horse.
