Documented artwork / sculptural plaza installation
NCState Wolf Plaza
Credit as documented: Michael Stutz
NC State's Wolf Plaza groups three woven-bronze wolves at a busy campus crossing. Michael Stutz observed students moving through the site and sought a sculpture that would contribute to that activity without obstructing it. Bronze strips create forms that combine recognizable animals with an open, abstract structure. The university's announcement explains the artist's interest in forward movement and the power associated with wolves.

Materials and construction
The commission began in 2008, with an unveiling announced for March 9, 2010. The university's five-foot and approximately twelve-hundred-pound description does not clearly assign those measures to individual wolves.
Presentation and site context
A 2025 university account confirms the trio at Wolf Plaza, south of the Free Expression Tunnel. It describes the plaza as a crossroads and a setting for student events and initiatives.
