At the official opening of the International Building in 2005, a hanging sculpture was commissioned by Thompson Rivers University for the foyer. Local BC artists Nancy Chew and Jacqueline Metz created the public artwork called Mapping. The installation of a red canoe hangs above visitors and imagines journey and exploration, and is a metaphor for the ways we investigate, understand and interpret the world. The project was inspired by themes of the observatory which is located at the top of the building, as well as the notions of travel and discovery
