CARBONDALE — Gear Up!, a new 25-foot tall, fabricated aluminum sculpture, will serve as a daily reminder of what Southern Illinois University Carbondale aviation and automotive students can achieve.

Located near the southeast entrance to the Glenn Poshard Transportation Education Center, the 5,000-pound artwork was created by SIU Carbondale alumnus and renowned sculptor John Adduci and installed in mid-July. It features 10 gears and is illuminated at night by an LED fixture from existing lighting on an exterior wall.
