"Behind the Brain" provides seating and gathering areas in the pedestrian plaza. There are four major sculptural elements. Three were carved on-site from huge blocks of Massillon Formation sandstone. A simple fountain features a single stream of water to emerge from the top of a decorated sandstone block. The water drops onto a single granite boulder. Another sculpture is in the basic shape of a seed to symbolize growth. Cast stone retaining walls look like rows of books.
