State College Borough aspires to establish a vibrant art and cultural district in the downtown area, while also advancing its ambitious sustainability goals. To that end, an artistic and graphic interpretation of the SDGs has been considered in various applications. Most recently, borough leadership noted mural art applications inside parking garages in towns of similar size and demographic (i.e., East Lansing, MI) and they would like to explore an application in the Fraser Street Garage in downtown State College. The design should brighten the interior space of the garage and should help parking customers get better oriented in the garage. Utilizing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a guide to themes and colors provides an excellent connection to the Borough’s sustainability efforts.
