Rising above the lab's Pine Street entrance is the 50-foot, 21-ton Broken Symmetry, largest of Robert Wilson's creations fusing art and science. The orange and black arches appear symmetrical when viewed from below, but are asymmetrical from other angles.
Wilson's Hyperbolic Obelisk, in the reflecting pond in front of Wilson Hall, is 32 feet tall, made of 23 smaller steel plates, each a quarter-inch thick. The obelisk is also called "Acqua Alle Funi" ("water to the ropes"), from the command shouted when the Egyptian obelisk was raised in St. Peter's Square in Rome in the 16th Century.

The Mobius Strip atop Ramsey Auditorium has 3-by-5-inch pieces of stainless steel welded to an eight-foot diameter tubular form. The 36-foot tall Tractricious, in front of the Industrial Complex, is made of 16 stainless steel outer tubes, scrap cryostat tubes from Tevatron magnets and 16 inner pipes from old well casings.
