It also includes graduate student studios, faculty and staff studios and offices, and gallery space. The unique design brings natural light into spaces throughout the four-plus story structure, an important feature for art studio spaces. The building envelope is clad with zinc and stainless steel plate panels, channel glass wall systems, operable windows and a green roof. The concrete frame construction is supported on drilled pier foundations. The new building replaces the 1935 Art Building, which was heavily damaged during a flood of the University of Iowa campus in June 2008.
