Aspire.
The tallest freestanding sculpture in the UK

Welcome to Aspire – the UK’s tallest freestanding sculpture and a new landmark for Nottingham and Britain. At 60 metres high, this towering fusion of architecture and engineering has created a work of public art which will change the Nottingham skyline forever.

Aspire stands for the aspirations of the city and people of Nottingham. Aspire stands for the ambition, knowledge and world leading innovation of The University of Nottingham. Above all, Aspire stands as a towering affirmation of optimism for the future.

The Aspire sculpture has been paid for by the generous donation of an anonymous benefactor. We are pleased to confirm that no student fees or costs to the people of Nottingham have been used to pay for Aspire.
