1 Paradigm Shift – A Bridge<\/strong>
Jack Archibald designed this window entitled \u201cParadigm Shift\u201d in tandem with its counter part \u201cEscher\u2019s Elevator\u201d on the west side of this building.  Together they serve as an artistic connection between the university\u2019s original Education Building, standing behind you,  now known now as \u201cOld Main\u201d and this new building. 

In describing this piece, the artist wrote,

\u201c \u201cParadigm Shift\u2019s\u201d arch is a metaphorical as well as literal \u2018bridge\u2019 between the 19th century Normal School\u2019s entrance of arched stone and radiating wood fanned transom to the abstraction of \u201cEscher\u2019s Elevator\u201d and its 21st century architecture. Where \u201cParadigm Shift\u201d is an elegantly formal symmetrical construction whose interior begins the process of fragmentation, \u201cEscher\u2019s Elevator\u201d is a wholly modern unraveling of traditional perspectives.\u201d

2 Paradigm Shift – Animated Glass<\/strong>
Since the late 1970s, Jack Archibald has created more than sixty stained-glass installations which are exhibited in public buildings across the country.  He has received commissions to create windows  for city halls, public libraries, transportation centers, the Washington State Patrol headquarters, public schools, elevator towers, courthouses, historical societies, airports, train stations,community centers, and yes\u2026 universities. 
He said of his work, “As a stained glass artist, I work with light. Glass is uniquely interactive with light, its transitions, its intensities, its colors. Throughout the day, a window constantly undergoes transformation. The changing light animates the glass.”

3 Paradigm Shift – Artist: Jack Archibald<\/strong>
 Archibald received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1972 and in 1981, he established a private art studio called “Revisionary Glassworks” on an island in Washington\u2019s Puget Sound. His style incorporates science-fiction [and] mythology and blends curvy, anthropomorphic figures balanced with rigid, geometric shapes.
