The marble donor recognition wall depicted below, one of two located in the main hallway just inside the front door of the Center, is a replica of an actual Two Gray Hills rug. 
Shown below is the second and newer marble donor recognition wall, just to the left of the entrance to the galleries in the Center, is a replica of an actual Regional Style Navajo rug of handspun wool, a classic J. B. Moore weaving. 
This cornerstone is on a southeast corner of the Center, on your left as you leave the covered passageway that leads from the entrances to the Concert Hall and the Southwest Center. This and the Concert Hall cornerstone are the only (and last, per statement of the Administration) Masonic cornerstones placed on campus.  The Masons contributed nothing to the College to warrant having their organization's name on these buildings; it was allowed as a one-time concession to a former employee of the College (now deceased) who was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Durango.
