"In Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ History" is a series dedicated to notable events in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ College history. It is created in partnership with the Office of Communications and Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ College Archives.

Just 45 years ago, the iconic ball chairs first appeared on campus. Part of the Terrell Main Library’s original 1974 furnishings, the colorful chairs were created by Finnish interior designer Eero Aarnio and have served as a welcome spot for both studying and dozing off.
