The site is the former G. Fox Department store. The landmark building is located in the historic district in downtown Hartford. The site was renovated to house a college and downtown shopping arcade. Hickman's site specific artwork greatly enhances the Deco-era lobby.

The artwork is an aluminum framed and mirror glazed false entryway with real doors, locks, and handles. It was built to match an existing entryway which adjoins it on the left. The passive and active entrances reinforce the notion of passage, a particularly appropriate metaphor for the site, being that college is a time of both passage and reflection.
