NOTES
Additional Information:This highly intact university classroom/faculty office complex consists of a low-rise brick-clad classroom building to which is attached a high-rise office tower that is clad in precast masonry panels. The complex is loosely modeled on the Van Vleck Hall complex on the UW-Madison campus and architecturally, it is an even better design.
