The stainless steel frame in the Calabria Plaza is a physical representation of the Providence College motto Veritas or Truth, symbolized by a torch. The plaza includes a black polished wall etched with the names of Dominican saints, the lyrics of the college alma mater, and the seals of the Dominican Order and Providence College. The three steel tongues of flame represent the persons of the Blessed Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The plaza and flame are meant to be icons for light and truth, the Catholic and Dominican identity of Providence College.
