The work was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Charter, which conferred the University's status. The 'Wonderwall' celebrates the people of the University of Strathclyde and their many significant achievements including the Dansken equatorial telescope, John Logie Baird, inventor of the world’s first working television, James 'Paraffin' Young, the driving force behind today’s oil refinery industry, John Anderson, founder of the University of Strathclyde, James Blyth, wind energy pioneer, Henry Faulds, originator of fingerprint identification, Andrew Ure, whose experiments on corpses are thought to have inspired Mary Shelley's novel 'Frankenstein'. The work was almost 200 m in length and incorporating three seven-storey gables.
