Longwood University campus and community gathered in November to get the first up-close look at Longwood’s new monument to Joan of Arc, the university’s patron hero who has inspired generations of students at the dedication ceremony and unveiling of the statue.
T&L provided A/E Services for the new Joan of Arc Statue at Longwood University. Joan of Arc is the patron heroine for the University. The monument, Longwood’s third of the 15th-century French heroine, was installed after more than three years of work by a renowned Scottish artist. The monument was unveiled in November of 2018.
At more than 15 feet tall, the heroic figure of Joan of Arc strikes an assertive pose and captures the historic woman at the height of her military prowess, raising the Siege of Orleans in 1429. Wearing a heavy suit of armor and wielding a legendary sword, this vision of Joan of Arc stands at the southern end of Brock Commons, between Hull and Bedford halls.
Longwood President W. Taylor Reveley IV said, “This majestic statue that we dedicate today will inspire us across all our years: Joan of Arc, poised forever young, in a moment of defiant triumph.”
T&L was excited to be a part of this project.
