Bud Wobus, professor emeritus of geology at Williams College, leads a geology presentation and walk around the Clark’s campus. Wobus guides visitors through the history of the granite slabs that comprise the Manton Research Center and Tadao Ando-designed Clark Center. Discover how the minerals and patterns—art forms in themselves—can be interpreted to trace the granites of the grounds beyond the Manton Research Center’s fiftieth anniversary.
