The University of Richmond has once again adorned the tower of Boatwright Memorial Library with three giant holiday wreaths to celebrate the holiday season. 

Wreath hanging by the numbers:

• The first year was in 1988 when only one wreath was raised.
• Two additional wreaths were added to the display in 1989, and the number has remained three since then.  
• It takes a team of 12 to 14 people to place the wreaths on the library.
• Each wreath is approximately 85 feet in the air.
• There are approximately 1,400 white twinkling lights per wreath.
• There are around 780 to 800 pieces of pine garland per wreath.
• Each bow is 5 feet wide.
• Over 1,500 feet of cable is used to hoist the wreaths into place.
• Each wreath is 14 feet in diameter.
