Infographic: Silver and Gold
The top-floor terrace of the CASE building offers a moment of solitude, unobstructed Flatiron views and a friendly presence — a magnificent bronze buffalo named Silver and Gold. The statue, created by Denny Haskew in his studio in Loveland, Colorado, has quickly become a must-see for visitors and campus residents alike. The sculpture joins a host of other buffalo sculptures on campus, including the iconic grazing bison outside of Folsom Field.
- A 90-ton crane installed the sculpture on the third-floor terrace of the CASE building May 9, 2018.
- The artist studied three herds of buffalo in northern Colorado and Wyoming for the piece.
- 41,421 campus tour participants — prospective students and their guests — saw the buffalo in 2019.
- The sculpture weighs approximately 900 pounds.
- Beginning in June 2017, the sculpture took four months to complete.
- The statue is about 3/4ths the size of a full-sized male buffalo.
