The UI’s Art Building West, winner of a 2007 American Institute of Architects Honor Award, was open for less than two years when it sustained severe damage in the floods of 2008. With original construction costs of $21.5 million, the building recently completed its $14.2 million refurbishment and is finally back in business. Check out these images of ABW from the Iowa Digital Library before stopping by to see it in all its newly restored glory:
