Make your mark on the IGB

The Walk of Life

The double helix - the classically beautiful twisting ladder that forms the shape of DNA - is beautifully depicted within the landscape of the IGB.

The Walk of Life is a unique opportunity to become a permanent part of IGB history. Located to the west of the new IGB building, adjacent to the historic Morrow Plots, the Walk of Life pays tribute to the historical discoveries that enable our work on the cutting edge of life science research.

Walk of Life pavers are the perfect way to commemorate anniversaries or special events, or to honor a loved one's special achievements. Email info-igb@uiuc.edu or call 217.333.0873 for more information.

Walk of Life pavers are available in two sizes:

Small pavers are 12" x 12" and are customizable with up to three lines of engraved text.

Large pavers are 12" x 24" and are customizable with up to four lines of engraved text.

Medallions can be added to each stone for an additional $300.

Your investment in the IGB will serve as a lasting connection to the University of Illinois for years to come.
