Century of Iowa Architecture
Project Description
This is an understated, yet powerful example of modernist architecture. The Saarinen office designed an entirely new campus plan in 1947 and constructed this building as one of the first parts of the scheme. The auditorium entry is fascinating in detail and the skywalk between Fitch Pharmacy Hall and Ingham Hall was the first in Iowa.
