Pace University Doors
Artist Avel deKnight's watercolor captures the style of Pace's three main campuses in depicting the doors to opportunity that open to members of the University community. The painting shows the Georgian-style Willcox Hall located on the Pleasantville/Briarcliff campus at the top; the modern New York City campus highlighted by the bronze sculpture at the front of the building which also suggests the Manhattan skyline in the middle; and, at the bottom, the Gothic entrance to Preston Hall on The College of White Plains campus.
