Fitch Pharmacy Hall, Drake University

Saarinen, Saarinen, Swanson and Associates

Recognitions: 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.
