UI evaluates replacement for two flood-damaged building complexes

The University of Iowa next week will present the Iowa Board of Regents with its analysis of the costs to replace two major building complexes damaged in the flood of 2008. The analysis examines the costs of replacing the Art Building East complex, which houses much of the School of Art and Art History; and the Hancher/Voxman/Clapp complex, which houses the UI School of Music and Hancher Auditorium, the UI's principal performing arts venue. No site recommendations for new buildings will be made at the meeting, but that issue remains under active consideration. [more]
