| Additional Information: | This highly intact nine-story-tall classroom and faculty office building was built in 1974 to a design by Maynard W. Mayer & Assoc. of Milwaukee and it is clad in ribbed poured-in-place concrete. The building is of architectural significance both for its design and for its success in solving a very difficult site problem in which a large building had to be built on a very restricted foot print in the midst of a compact urban campus. |
