The sculpture weighs 854 tonnes, and cost £800,000,〔(Kera.name - Eight Hundred Grand to Aspire )〕 which was donated by an anonymous benefactor.〔(World Architecture News )〕 The name ''Aspire'' was chosen after a competition to name the sculpture, which was open to staff and students at the university.〔(University of Nottingham Press release )〕
The structure was fabricated by Watson Steel Structures Ltd in Bolton, Greater Manchester, and was then transported to Widnes, Cheshire, where Merseyside Coatings Ltd applied the distinctive red and orange colour scheme.
