... that the removal of a printing press from The Republic Newspaper Office prompted dozens of concerned inquiries from the public? Source: Kamin, Blair (May 14, 2018). "Former newspaper building in Indiana, a modernist icon shaped in Chicago, will house architecture program". Chicago Tribune. "So deeply was the building ingrained in the life of the town that when the printing press was removed in 1998, to be replaced by a larger one that could only be housed in a new facility, the public took notice. 'Alarm bells went off. We fielded dozens of inquiries from people sure that the newspaper had gone out of business.'"

ALT2: ... that The Republic Newspaper Office was completed under budget despite undergoing more than 100 changes during construction? Source: The Republic (Report). National Register of Historic Places, National Park Service. October 16, 2012. p. 12. "Over the course of construction. Brown corresponded frequently with George Hays, the project manager for SOM to discuss the day-to-day details of the project, including the numerous change orders. More than 100 of these were executed during the building’s construction ... In spite of the many modifications, the building was occupied only a short time after originally anticipated, and the final construction cost was $1,104,425, under SOM’s original estimate of $1,172,000."
ALT3: ... that an editor for The Republic newspaper in Indiana said that its office was "the best recruiting tool we've got"? Source: Freeman, Allen (March 1980). "Living in an Architectural Museum" (PDF). Journal of the American Institute of Architects. Vol. 69, no. 3. p. 70. "Courthouse Square is a less intrusive glass box, the daily Republic newspaper office and plant designed by Myron Goldsmith of SOM, Chicago. City Editor Harry McCawley, a believer in the good effects of good architecture, explains, "I am involved in the hiring of new reporters, and it is the best recruiting tool we've got. People compare it with where they are working now and where they are looking elsewhere. It often makes a difference as to whether we get a reporter we want." He adds facetiously that the building is "probably worth $10 a week in salary" when hiring, and seriously that his young crew dresses better than average for newspaper people, " to go with the building.""
